Learning Outcome

Upon completion, participants should be able to demonstrate each of the following;

  1. Construct a time series model to identify components such as trend, cycle, and seasonality.
  2. Understanding stationarity, autoregression, and autoregression plots for time series analysis.
  3. Build, analyze, and forecast a time series.

Learning Path

Time Series Forecasting is one of the modules under our Enterprise Data Analyst (EDA) program. EDA is a ten-day training program that provides analysts with advanced tools and skillsets required for efficient data analysis.
