Simple Python Time Series Analysis Crash Course

This course will teach you everything you need to know to use Python for forecasting time series data to predict new future data points.

We’ll start off with the basics by teaching you how to work with and manipulate data using the NumPy and Pandas libraries with Python. Then we’ll dive deeper into working with Pandas by learning about visualizations with the Pandas library and how to work with time stamped data with Pandas and Python.

Then we’ll begin to learn about the statsmodels library and its powerful built in Time Series Analysis Tools.

Afterwards we’ll get to the heart of the course, covering general forecasting models. We’ll talk about creating AutoCorrelation and Partial AutoCorrelation charts and using them in conjunction with powerful ARIMA based models, including Seasonal ARIMA models and SARIMAX to include Exogenous data points.

Afterwards we’ll learn about state of the art Deep Learning techniques with Recurrent Neural Networks that use deep learning to forecast future data points.

This course even covers Facebook’s Prophet library, a simple to use, yet powerful Python library developed to forecast into the future with time series data.

If there is some time dependency, then you know it – the answer is time series analysis.
