Time Series Analysis and Forecasting with Python

In a world driven by data, predicting the future is no longer guesswork but a technical skill. Organizations rely on historical patterns to make strategic decisions, making time series analysis one of the most valuable skills in data science. This course takes you from the basics of temporal data to building sophisticated forecasting models. You will move beyond simple averages to understand seasonality, trends, and noise, gaining the ability to generate reliable forecasts for business or research. What you'll learn: - Understand the core components of time series data, including seasonality, trends, and stationarity - Implement Exponential Smoothing (ETS) models to handle complex seasonal patterns - Apply ARIMA and Seasonal ARIMA models to capture linear relationships in temporal data - Practice data preprocessing and cleaning techniques specifically for time-indexed datasets - Evaluate model performance using modern metrics and time series cross-validation - Explore modern forecasting frameworks like sktime for streamlined model development The curriculum begins with foundational definitions and data preparation before progressing through classic statistical models and modern evaluation frameworks. You will read through detailed explanations and apply your knowledge through written coding exercises. This course is designed for beginners in data analysis and Python who want to specialize in forecasting. No prior experience with time series is required.
