Course details
Time Series Decomposition: This unit involves breaking down time series data into its trend, seasonal, and residual components to better understand and forecast retail trends. •
ARIMA Model Implementation: This unit focuses on implementing the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, a popular statistical technique for time series forecasting, to analyze and predict sales trends in retail. •
Machine Learning for Time Series Forecasting: This unit explores the application of machine learning algorithms, such as LSTM and GRU networks, to improve the accuracy of time series forecasting in retail, including the use of secondary keywords like deep learning and neural networks. •
Seasonal Decomposition and Exponential Smoothing: This unit delves into the seasonal decomposition of time series data and the application of exponential smoothing methods, including Holt's method and Holt-Winters method, to forecast sales trends in retail. •
Forecasting with Vector Autoregression (VAR) Models: This unit examines the use of VAR models to forecast time series data in retail, including the analysis of multiple time series variables and the application of secondary keywords like multivariate analysis. •
Time Series Forecasting with Python Libraries: This unit focuses on the application of popular Python libraries, such as pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn, to build and evaluate time series forecasting models in retail, including the use of secondary keywords like data science and machine learning. •
