This book is ideal for the following groups of people:
- Data scientists who wish to learn how to perform time series analysis and forecasting with R.
- Data analysts who perform Excel-based time series analysis and forecasting and wish to take their forecasting skills to the next level.
Basic knowledge of statistics (for example, regression analysis and hypothesis testing) is required, and some knowledge of R is expected but is not mandatory (for those who never use R, Chapter 1, Introduction to Time Series Analysis and R, provides a brief introduction).
