Introduction
FreeYou will learn how to leverage basic plottings tools in Python, and how to annotate and personalize your time series plots. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to take any static dataset and produce compelling plots of your data.
-
Summary Statistics and Diagnostics
In this chapter, you will gain a deeper understanding of your time series data by computing summary statistics and plotting aggregated views of your data.
-
Seasonality, Trend and Noise
You will go beyond summary statistics by learning about autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation plots. You will also learn how to automatically detect seasonality, trend and noise in your time series data.
-
Work with Multiple Time Series
In the field of Data Science, it is common to be involved in projects where multiple time series need to be studied simultaneously. In this chapter, we will show you how to plot multiple time series at once, and how to discover and describe relationships between multiple time series.
-
Case Study
This chapter will give you a chance to practice all the concepts covered in the course. You will visualize the unemployment rate in the US from 2000 to 2010.
