A developer at a retail company is creating a daily demand forecasting model.

The best solution to verify the suitability of an ARIMA approach is to use Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler. Data Wrangler is a feature of SageMaker Studio that provides an end-to-end solution for importing, preparing, transforming, featurizing, and analyzing data. Data Wrangler includes built-in analyses that help generate visualizations and data insights in a few clicks. One of the built-in analyses is the Seasonal-Trend decomposition, which can be used to decompose a time series into its trend, seasonal, and residual components. This analysis can help the developer understand the patterns and characteristics of the time series, such as stationarity, seasonality, and autocorrelation, which are important for choosing an appropriate ARIMA model. Data Wrangler also provides built-in transformations that can help the developer handle missing data, such as imputing with mean, median, mode, or constant values, or dropping rows with missing values. Imputing missing data can help avoid gaps and irregularities in the time series, which can affect the ARIMA model performance. Data Wrangler also allows the developer to export the prepared data and the analysis code to various destinations, such as SageMaker Processing, SageMaker Pipelines, or SageMaker Feature Store, for further processing and modeling.

The other options are not suitable for verifying the suitability of an ARIMA approach. Amazon SageMaker Autopilot is a feature-set that automates key tasks of an automatic machine learning (AutoML) process. It explores the data, selects the algorithms relevant to the problem type, and prepares the data to facilitate model training and tuning. However, Autopilot does not support ARIMA as a machine learning problem type, and it does not provide any visualization or analysis of the time series data. Resampling data by using the aggregate daily total can reduce the granularity and resolution of the time series, which can affect the ARIMA model accuracy and applicability.
