Synopsis
Learn how to apply the principles of machine learning to time series modeling with this indispensable resource Machine Learning for Time Series Forecasting with Python is an incisive and straightforward examination of one of the most crucial elements of decision-making in finance, marketing, education, and healthcare: time series modeling. Despite the centrality of time series forecasting, few business analysts are familiar with the power or utility of applying machine learning to time series modeling. Author Francesca Lazzeri, a distinguished machine learning scientist and economist, corrects that deficiency by providing readers with comprehensive and approachable explanation and treatment of the application of machine learning to time series forecasting. Written for readers who have little to no experience in time series forecasting or machine learning, the book comprehensively covers all the topics necessary to: Understand time series forecasting concepts, such as stationarity, horizon, trend, and seasonality Prepare time series data for modeling Evaluate time series forecasting models' performance and accuracy Understand when to use neural networks instead of traditional time series models in time series forecasting Machine Learning for Time Series Forecasting with Python is full real-world examples, resources and concrete strategies to help readers explore and transform data and develop usable, practical time series forecasts. Perfect for entry-level data scientists, business analysts, developers, and researchers, this book is an invaluable and indispensable guide to the fundamental and advanced concepts of machine learning applied to time series modeling., One of the most important elements of today's decision-making world, in both the public and the private sectors, is the forecasting of macroeconomic and financial variables. This applies to many industries including finance, education, and health care to name just a few. However, not many business analysts or developers people know how to use machine learning approach and technologies to build successful forecast applications. This book provides a practical introductory guide to time series forecasting with machine learning and Python for those hands-on readers. Readers new to time series forecasting will be able to understand and deal better with: Time series forecasting concepts, such as horizon, frequency trend and seasonality. Evaluation of the time series forecasting models performance and accuracy. Understanding when to use neural networks instead of traditional time series models in time series forecasting. The book shows readers practical instances of how these time series forecasting models can be applied to a real-world scenario by providing examples and using many machine learning components available in open-source Python packages, such as Scikit-learn, Keras and Tensorflow. The reader will also use other Python tools such as Jupyter notebooks to interactively explore data, transform it, and then develop time series forecasting models.
