In analyzing time series one searches for structures and patterns to describe and explain the underlying process. But also for ways to use adequate models fitted to predict future values or to study the effects of alternative scenarios.
Time series occur in a wide range of disciplines, from business, economic and social sciences to biomedical and engineering contexts. This course treats actual methods for time series analysis, modelling and forecasting.
Apart from the traditional methods for trend and seasonal decomposition of time series, more advanced statistical techniques, both in the time-domain and in the frequency domain are discussed and underlying principles are explained.
In this course:
Academics and professionals who have to analyze and predict time series data in their work. The course is also suited for lecturers at universities or colleges of higher education who want to be informed on actual methods for time series analysis.
Knowledge of basic statistical techniques like testing, estimating and regression modelling is assumed.
In consultation with the participants this course can be taught in Dutch or English. Practical exercises are in R.
The techniques demonstrated with R, can also be performed in Python and yield comparable results. Participants receive sample data files so that they can reproduce the results using their preferred data analysis software. It is possible to use R from Python and Python from R and combine the advantages of each. Do you want to use Python or discover more possibilities of Python? View our course Python for engineers.
