What will you learn?

After the training, you will be able to:

Extract insights from time series data, including trends and patterns.

Interpret and model seasonality in time series data.

Build forecasting models to make predictions about the future.

Forecast at scale with Prophet.

Program

This program focuses on time series analysis using Pandas in Python. It covers key topics including timestamp features, aggregations, rolling averages, decomposition, and modeling with scikit-learn and Prophet.

  • Effectively deal with timestamps and formatting with Pandas
  • Master fundamental time series analysis techniques with aggregations
  • Easily identify trends in the data with rolling averages and various smoothing techniques
  • Decompose time series data into trends, seasonality, non-cyclical components, and residuals
  • Extrapolate current dynamics into the future with a scikit-learn forecasting model
  • Explicitly model trends, seasonalities, outliers and holiday effects with Prophet

This training is for you if:

You work with time series data or are likely to in the future.

You have (some) experience with data wrangling with Pandas and machine learning with scikit-learn.

You want to extract insights from your time series data more easily.

You want to build forecasting models you can trust.

This training is not for you if:

You have no data wrangling and analysis experience with Pandas (check out our Python for Data Analysis training instead)

You have never built a model before with scikit-learn (check out our Certified Data Science with Python course instead).
