FoRecoML vs SigNoz

FoRecoML brings machine-learning approaches to forecast reconciliation across cross-sectional, temporal, and cross-temporal frameworks through csrml(), terml(), and ctrml(). It reached CRAN in April 2026 and has since spent both releases integrating with FoReco rather than expanding its own method set: results are now FoReco's foreco objects, and print() and summary() report framework, approach, problem dimensions, features, training sample size, combination matrix, and trained models.

This package is being built as a satellite, not a competitor. Adopting FoReco's exported new_foreco_class() constructor within days of that class appearing means FoRecoML results drop straight into the same print, summary, plot, and components methods as analytically reconciled ones — which is what makes machine-learning and classical reconciliation directly comparable in a single workflow. The 1.1.1 argument-validation work landed in the same minute as the equivalent change in FoReco, so the two are being maintained as one release train.

With the integration work done, the next release is more likely to add or expose machine-learning approaches than to keep reshaping output; the structured summary already enumerates features and trained models, which suggests inspection tooling is where attention has been.
