hts
hts is retired, with minimum maintenance to keep it on CRAN. We recommend using the fable package instead.
The R package hts presents functions to create, plot and forecast hierarchical and grouped time series.
Installation
You can install the stable version on R CRAN.
install.packages('hts', dependencies = TRUE)You can also install the development version from Github
