Time series are all around us, from stock prices and weather forecasts to economic trends and medical diagnoses. This course is designed to equip you to effectively model, interpret, and forecast time series.

In this course, you’ll learn time series analysis concepts, such as stochasticity, stationarity, and autocorrelation. You’ll analyze the time series by computing its various moments and by visualizing it using histogram and density plots. Next, you’ll decompose the time series into its trend, season, and cycle components. You’ll then learn about linear time series models, including autoregressive (AR) processes, moving average (MA) processes, ARMA, and ARIMA. You’ll fit these models on data and forecast the future and finish with evaluating the models using various goodness of fit criteria. 

By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in univariate time series analysis and the skills to explore, model, and forecast time series data using Python.
