This course provides an opportunity to learn and practice R for time series analysis and forecasting. R is the leading open source software for this purpose, offering functions and features that are not available in other tools, such as exponential smoothing, ARIMA models, time series cross validation, missing data handling, visualizations and forecasts.
The course is structured with three distinct projects. The first project focuses on trending data, and as a secondary topic, students will learn how to create standard and ggplot2 time series visualizations. The dataset for this project will be an employment rate dataset. The second project uses German monthly inflation rates over the last 10 years to demonstrate how to model seasonal datasets, and compares the models with time series cross validation. The third project connects R to yahoo finance and scrapes stock data. The resulting data requires pre-processing and cleaning, including missing data imputation. Students will then check which weekday is the best for buying and selling the Novartis stock.
Some knowledge of R is required to follow along. There is an introduction to time series analysis and forecasting course available, which is more of a step by step guide, while this course is applied and project based. Both courses can be taken on their own, or students can take a look at both and learn the subject from two different angles.
The course script is provided as a text file, and students will also receive the standard Udemy benefits, such as a 30-day money back guarantee, lifetime access, instructor support and a certificate for their CV.
