Course Description

In this course you'll learn the basics of manipulating time series data. Time series data are data that are indexed by a sequence of dates or times. You'll learn how to use methods built into Pandas to work with this index. You'll also learn how resample time series to change the frequency. This course will also show you how to calculate rolling and cumulative values for times series. Finally, you'll use all your new skills to build a value-weighted stock index from actual stock data.

    Working with Time Series in Pandas

    Free

    This chapter lays the foundations to leverage the powerful time series functionality made available by how Pandas represents dates, in particular by the DateTimeIndex. You will learn how to create and manipulate date information and time series, and how to do calculations with time-aware DataFrames to shift your data in time or create period-specific returns.

    This is a thorough course about manipulating Time Series. The exercises are interesting and challenging. I enjoyed and learned a great deal. I like the way the instructor presents the information. The course is well structured and with very useful information and exercises. It made me thirsty for learning more about Time Series related to Finance. Excellent!

    It was, for me, the best course from Datacamp because it was very well structured, the exercises were harder than usually and tested skills from all chapters of the course. The exercises were well written, giving always the name of the variable to create, which allowed to erase the pre-filled exercises (a feature that guts me in DataCamp, the pre-filled exercises).
