About the Course

Welcome to Practical Time Series Analysis! Many of us are "accidental" data analysts. We trained in the sciences, business, or engineering and then found ourselves confronted with data for which we have no formal analytic training. This course is designed for people with some technical competencies who would like more than a "cookbook" approach, but who still need to concentrate on the routine sorts of presentation and analysis that deepen the understanding of our professional topics. In practical Time Series Analysis we look at data sets that represent sequential information, such as stock prices, annual rainfall, sunspot activity, the price of agricultural products, and more. We look at several mathematical models that might be used to describe the processes which generate these types of data. We also look at graphical representations that provide insights into our data. Finally, we also learn how to make forecasts that say intelligent things about what we might expect in the future. Please take a few minutes to explore the course site. You will find video lectures with supporting written materials as well as quizzes to help emphasize important points. The language for the course is R, a free implementation of the S language. It is a professional environment and fairly easy to learn. You can discuss material from the course with your fellow learners. Please take a moment to introduce yourself! Time Series Analysis can take effort to learn- we have tried to present those ideas that are "mission critical" in a way where you understand enough of the math to fell satisfied while also being immediately productive. We hope you enjoy the class!...

It is a very good course which builds on the basics of time series and also covers more advanced topics like SARIMA. The course contains ample examples which helped me better understand the material.

Excelente, uno de los mejores cursos que he tomado. Lo más importante es que se practica muy seguido y hay examenes durante los vídeos. Si hay un nivel más avanzado de este tema, seguro que lo tomo.

i liked the course, which is quite useful for the beginners.

I'd add additionally some theory and other examples to make the understanding better.

This course has wonderful explanation of Mathematics behind the graphs. One should not give up initially is the best way to complete this course.

The course gives a good overview of time series modelling. The course is more relevant for academic purposes. Overall well structured course.

Classic intro class. But it will be better to explain the difference between exponential smoothing and SARIMA and why we need the first one.

The course provides an overall idea about time series forecasting from the scratch. The examples to explain the concepts are very accurate.

Expected a bit more beyond ARIMAs but overall a good course to go for. I revisited a lot of fundamentals that helped me in my college.

Good training, not only because of the theory but also the examples and the most important, the easy way to understand R code offered.

There should be more R codes and the explanation of the codes should be made easier. However, it is a good course on time series.

Very good introduction to time series and to R.

There are some small errors and typos (otherwise a trigger to get more R skills).

A very good introduction to time series analysis. Provides some theoretical fundamentals and explains how to implement it in R.

Great Course. Beyond what I thought it would be. It brings you 1 step closer to doing practical time series analysis using R.

Course is good and intuitive and people not from non-mathematical/non-engineering backgroung may take more time in week 2

A good course on the concepts of time series with hands-on simulation, analysis, simple modeling, and forecasting!

Great course with clear description but the sound of mentor is almost monotone making me feel some sleepy

Quite simple for a beginner, but there still exist some problems(Such as function name typo) in test.

The explaination of the mathematical concepts is intuitive.

The assignments can be improved

I thought everything was had a great layout. I found the proofs dry, but necessary.

Good! but Theoretical terms were little bit boring & confusing.
