Description

We live in a serendipitous era where the explosion in the quantum of data collected and a renewed interest in data-driven techniques such as machine learning (ML), has changed the landscape of analytics, and with it, time series forecasting. This book, filled with industry-tested tips and tricks, takes you beyond commonly used classical statistical methods such as ARIMA and introduces to you the latest techniques from the world of ML. This is a comprehensive guide to analyzing, visualizing, and creating state-of-the-art forecasting systems, complete with common topics such as ML and deep learning (DL) as well as rarely touched-upon topics such as global forecasting models, cross-validation strategies, and forecast metrics. You’ll begin by exploring the basics of data handling, data visualization, and classical statistical methods before moving on to ML and DL models for time series forecasting. This book takes you on a hands-on journey in which you’ll develop state-of-the-art ML (linear regression to gradient-boosted trees) and DL (feed-forward neural networks, LSTMs, and transformers) models on a real-world dataset along with exploring practical topics such as interpretability. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build world-class time series forecasting systems and tackle problems in the real world.

Who is this book for?

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

This book is a one-stop for holistic learning on time series. Very well-articulated in a simple yet engaging manner. For data enthusiasts who are beginning their career in machine learning, this book is an absolute read as it covers all the essential and key aspects to build up your expertise on time series ground up. For seasoned professionals, it provides a guide to further incorporate deep learning strategies to make your time series modelling better.Key aspects of the book:1.) I really like how the book is been compartmentalized into four parts, beginning from a simple introduction to time series to using deep learning architecture for the same.2.) The fact that the content for each sub-sections/ sub-headings in the chapters are supported with mathematical representations, graphs, flow diagrams, tables, pictures, and code snippets makes it engaging and interesting to follow through.3.) Each chapter has an exhaustive list of references and a bonus reading section which lists research papers, journals, and articles from curated repositories like ACM, MIT, Stanford, IEEE, etc.4.) The book also covers modelling strategy using the open-source library 'Py Torch Forecasting ' in a self-containing and self-explanatory way, supported with detailed explanations and documented code snippets. So even if you are new to using Py Torch, it won't be difficult to follow the content of the book.As a data science professional, who recently finished a master's in machine learning, I found this book really useful for both professional and academic purposes. I really enjoyed reading specialized deep learning architecture for forecasting such as Neural Basis Expansion for Interpretable TS Forecasting (N-BEATSx) and Temporal Fusion Transformers (TFT) followed by Mechanics of multistep forecasting and validation strategies. I definitely see myself implementing these learnings in my work.KUDOS to the author Manu for such excellent encapsulation of the topic with his domain expertise! Happy Forecasting!
