Summary
In this chapter, we delved into the fascinating world of time series analysis. We began by exploring time series plotting, mastering essential plots, and understanding the significance of ACF/PACF plots.
Moving forward, we ventured into time series statistics, including the ADF test, time series decomposition, and statistical forecasting with tools such as statsmodels
and prophet
.
To elevate our forecasting game, we embraced deep learning, employing LSTM networks using Python’s keras
library. We learned to develop accurate time series forecasts and create insightful visualizations for data-driven insights.
This chapter equipped us with a comprehensive set of skills for time series analysis, enabling us to unravel the hidden patterns and insights within time-based data, from plotting to statistical analysis and deep learning forecasting.
In the next chapter, we will discuss a different integration method – that is, calling R and Python from Excel directly...
