[R] Directional Forecast

[Sumanta Basak]

I've some demand data, for which I wish to judge what will be the direction
in the forecast period (Up/Down). What will be a best ML method to do this?
Currently I'm using the data given below -

I'm using 'forecastHybrid' package in R with the following code, but
unfortunately the forecasts I'm getting based on last observation only
(i.e. 191), which doesn't seem to be correct.

Will any other model be relevant here, i.e. SVM, RF etc. Any specific
guidance/code in R will be much appreciated.

mod1 <- hybridModel(t) fc1 <- forecast(mod1) fc1
