For customers who experience changes in their operations around holidays, Amazon Forecast provides a built-in featurization that incorporates a feature-engineered dataset of national holiday information.
To apply the Holidays Featurizations, simply specify an additional dataset declaration when creating a Predictor as follows:
"DataConfig": {
"AdditionalDatasets": [
{
"Name": "holiday",
"Configuration": {
"CountryCode" : ["US"]
}
},
]
},
