What are the key outputs generated after running the Prophet model for financial forecasting as described in the chapter?
The key outputs generated after running the Prophet model for financial forecasting include a spreadsheet with forecasted values and a graphical plot of these forecasts. The spreadsheet contains four columns: the date (ds), the forecasted values (yhat), and the lower and upper bounds of the forecasted values (yhat_lower and yhat_upper).
After executing the Prophet model, users receive two main outputs. The first is a spreadsheet that includes the date, the forecasted values, and their corresponding lower and upper bounds. The second output is a plot that visually represents the historical values alongside the forecasted values, clearly indicating the forecast start date and the uncertainty interval.
