Details

ID 2858612
Duration 2.0 days
Methods Lecture with examples and exercises.
Prerequisites General knowledge of math
Target group Data Analysts

Overview

Time series analysis comprises methods for analyzing time series data in order to extract meaningful statistics and other characteristics of the data. Time series forecasting is the use of a model to predict future values based on previously observed values. The course provides tools for empirical work with time series data and is an introduction into the foundation of time series models. It focuses on both univariate and multivariate time series analysis. After completing this course, a student will be able to analyze univariate and multivariate time series data using available software like MS Excel, SPSS and jMulti.
