Hello friends.

Welcome to Time Series Analysis, Forecasting, and Machine Learning in Python.

Time Series Analysis has become an especially important field in recent years.

  • With inflation on the rise, many are turning to the stock market and cryptocurrencies in order to ensure their savings do not lose their value.

  • COVID-19 has shown us how forecasting is an essential tool for driving public health decisions.

  • Businesses are becoming increasingly efficient, forecasting inventory and operational needs ahead of time.

Let me cut to the chase. This is not your average Time Series Analysis course. This course covers modern developments such as deep learning, time series classification (which can drive user insights from smartphone data, or read your thoughts from electrical activity in the brain), and more.

We will cover techniques such as:

  • ETS and Exponential Smoothing

  • Holt's Linear Trend Model

  • Holt-Winters Model

  •  Signup now to get lifetime access, a certificate of completion you can show off on your LinkedIn profile, and the skills to use the latest time series analysis techniques that you cannot learn anywhere else.

    Thanks for reading, and I'll see you in class.

    UNIQUE FEATURES

    • Every line of code explained in detail - email me any time if you disagree

    • No wasted time "typing" on the keyboard like other courses - let's be honest, nobody can really write code worth learning about in just 20 minutes from scratch

    • Not afraid of university-level math - get important details about algorithms that other courses leave out
