Mastering time series analysis

This course provides an in-depth exploration of time series data, focusing on both forecasting and identifying irregular patterns or anomalies.

Participants will learn to apply advanced algorithms and statistical methods to analyse time-structured data, uncovering trends, cycles, and forecasts. The course also delves into anomaly detection, teaching participants how to identify and interpret deviations that may indicate critical insights or warning signs in various contexts, such as financial markets, manufacturing, or cybersecurity.

By the end of this course, participants will gain:

• Foundational understanding: develop a solid comprehension of the significance of time-series analysis in operational intelligence and decision-making processes.
• Core techniques mastery: learn fundamental techniques and algorithms used in analysing and interpreting time-series data.
• Visualisation exploration: explore visualisation tools and techniques to effectively communicate insights derived from time-series data.
• Tailoring solutions: gain insights into tailoring time-series data analysis and presentations to different stakeholders and audiences, ensuring effective communication and decision-making.

Fundamentals of time-series algorithms: exploration of techniques and algorithms used in time-series analysis, including moving averages and exponential smoothing.
Practical hands-on exploration: implementation of time-series algorithms using Python and libraries such as Pandas and Statsmodels.
Tools and resources for time-series analysis: overview of software and tools for time-series analysis, including Python libraries, R packages, and cloud-based solutions.
Case studies and applications of time-series analysis: analysis of successful applications of time-series analysis in various industries, including finance, healthcare, and retail.
