Description
Unlock the power of temporal data with this comprehensive guide to Time Series Analysis. This course bridges the gap between traditional statistical econometrics and modern machine learning, taking you from a fundamental understanding of stationarity to deploying complex deep learning architectures in production.You will start by mastering the "Foundations," where we explore trend, seasonality, and essential stationarity tests like ADF and KPSS. From there, we dive into "Classical Models," including ARIMA and Seasonal ARIMA, supported by hands-on Python implementations. For those interested in Finance, our dedicated section on GARCH modeling provides the tools to forecast market volatility and manage risk effectively.As we move into modern techniques, you will learn to build advanced features and implement Deep Learning models such as LSTMs and GRUs. We even cover cutting-edge architectures like the Temporal Fusion Transformer and PatchTST. Finally, you will learn the "Engineering" side of forecasting: building robust pipelines with automated retraining, monitoring for model drift, and creating powerful ensembles that outperform individual models. Whether you are a data scientist, a quant, or an engineer, this course provides the end-to-end expertise needed to handle time-indexed data at scale. This curriculum ensures you can transition your models from a local notebook to a real-world, scalable environment with confidence.
