Add custom packages to Azure Machine Learning Studio

Question

I need to use the function tsCV on azure machine learning studio to evaluate models of the forecast, but I got the error

could not find function "tsCV"

I'm trying to update the forecast package, but no package is loaded. I followed this tutorialhttp://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2015/10/using-minicran-in-azure-ml.html andhttps://blog.tallan.com/2016/12/27/adding-r-packages-in-azure-ml/ but I don't get the same result. No packages are load.

I need an example of a package with R code that works o Azure ML or an update of forecast package to use the tsCV function.

Answer 1

1. Download CRAN

2. Make sure that tcCV is working

3. Zip all dependencies +forecast package

4. Zip all the zip files and upload it to the Azure ML Studio

5. Run the code given below:
