Description: A novel meta-learning framework for forecast model
        selection using time series features. Many applications require
        a large number of time series to be forecast. Providing better
        forecasts for these time series is important in decision and
        policy making. We propose a classification framework which
        selects forecast models based on features calculated from the
        time series. We call this framework FFORMS (Feature-based
        FORecast Model Selection). FFORMS builds a mapping that relates
        the features of time series to the best forecast model using a
        random forest. 'seer' package is the implementation of the
        FFORMS algorithm. For more details see our paper at
        <https://www.monash.edu/business/econometrics-and-business-statistics/research/publications/ebs/wp06-2018.pdf>.
