Pipelines with auto_arima

Like scikit-learn, pmdarima can fit “pipeline” models. That is, a pipeline constitutes a list of arbitrary length comprised of any number of BaseTransformer objects strung together ordinally, and finished with an AutoARIMA object.

The benefit of a pipeline is the ability to condense a complex sequence of stateful transformations into a single object that can call fit, predict and update. It can also be serialized into one pickle file, which greatly simplifies your life.
