Course Description

Welcome to the world of R and Time Series Analysis!

At the moment R is the leading open source software for time series analysis and forecasting. No other tool, not even python, comes close to the functions and features available in R. Things like exponential smoothing, ARIMA models, time series cross validation, missing data handling, visualizations and forecasts are easily accessible in R and its add on packages. Therefore, R is the right choice for time series analysis and this course gives you an opportunity to train and practice it.

So how is the course structured?

This is a hands on course with 3 distinct projects to solve! Each project has a main topic and a secondary topic. Both are discussed on real world data. In the first project you work with trending data, and as a secondary topic you will learn how to create standard and ggplot2 time series visualizations. The dataset for that project will be an employment rate dataset.

The second project with the German monthly inflation rates over the last 10 years shows how to model seasonal datasets. And you will also compare the models with time series cross validation.

In the third project you will connect R to yahoo finance and scrape stock data. The resulting data requires loads of pre-processing and cleaning including missing data imputation. Once we prepared the data, we will check out which weekday is the best for buying and selling the Novartis stock.

You should know some R to be able to follow along. There is for example the introduction to time series analysis and forecasting course. That course is more a step by step guide while this one is an applied and project based one. Both courses can be taken on their own, or you take a look at both and learn the subject from 2 different angles.

As always you will get the course script as a text file. Of course you get all the standard Udemy benefits like 30 days money back guarantee, lifetime access, instructor support and a certificate for your CV.

This course is great ONLY if you already have basic experience with R . You don't have to be a pro, but an idea would be great. This course will not explain concepts, it will just tell you why they are selecting a particular method. This course is great if you want some projects in your portfolio or some experience working with R and time series plots.

By Kolebaje Abimbola Raymond on 2/3/2022

I love this class. Its easy to follow along, I did not take the fundamental Class of the teacher but it was still easy to follow along with him and he took time to explain simple concepts like Variance, seasonality and so on. This course is helping me on a time series project I have on Forecasting the Prices of Cryptocurrency. Buy this one, you wont regret it.

By Antony Samarawickrema on 1/15/2022

I like that this course is mainly illustrated through three or four real world applications. I can use this on my work. I had also left a stellar review of this instructor's other R course on cleaning data. This new course on forecasting is consistent with the high quality of the previous course that I did.

By Fabiano Muniz on 4/13/2020

Hi, I really like the course because it gave to us a very practical view about forecasting in R. I've already finished the introdution of time series and forecast and this new course was another helpfull toll. I'm an economist from Brazil and I've shared your courses with some of my friends that was interested to start working with R. Best regards Fabiano Muniz

By CHANDRA RAMAN on 3/17/2020

Absolutely. I have taken the Theoretical course earlier and therefore this course is an extension of the same with Projects.The instructor is doing a great job. Matt Burger is doing a very good job.My request is to correct the transcript with grammar and spelling so that it serves as a reference guide for practitioners of Time Series Analysis. Excellent delivery by Matt.Thank you Matt .I am richer in knowledge after attending two courses.

This course is good for time series case study, but tutor should consider few project using facebook excellent library "prophet", it has very nice features such as holidays, custom events and many more ... any forecasting course is not finish without exposure to this excellent library !!!!

By David Chu on 5/28/2019

The course is a very good explanation of the various models used in Time Series Analysis. It covers topics like fixing stock data to find patterns. It is very practical and application-oriented. It is exactly the reason why I purchased this class and it met my objectives in purchasing this class. Very useful info!

By Steven Miller on 4/19/2019

I am really enjoying the practical nature of this course and the fact that we are given the chance to solve the problem ourselves before the solution is provided. Another really great feature is the co-mingling of the explanation of the forecasting models with the actual techniques. I have actually coded these model solutions for use in industry in archaic COBOL programs. I am truly amazed at the flexibility available to us today with the 'forecast' library in R. In the Stone Age days, 1960's and 1970's, we had the textbooks with formulae and punch cards. We coded the algorithms and checked them hand. Late in my career I programmed an R forecasting algorithm for commercial use in a software package that my consulting firm used. This course is review for me, but still WONDERFULLY done!

By Adrian Perarnau on 5/23/2018

Following the previous comment, it would be good to have a constant updating of the feasibility of the tools. That is, checking that indeed the task could be done. Other than the difficulty of downloading data, just mid course after a Windows 10 update, and for some reason, Rstudio ceased working. I have to restart everything on a Linux machine. On the good side, the instructor made an outstanding effort to convey a clear and concise course. There were no extra words, the slides were thoughtfully designed and matched the dialog perfectly. As far as on line learning resources, this is the best I have seen. Excellent job. Also this was a good introductory window to the tools that R has. This was a discovery for me and a very good one. I cannot put a 5 due to the scrapping difficulties, but highly recommended.

By André Marques on 4/30/2018

Gostei muito do formato do curso, explicando passo a passo os códigos, a parte teórica, apontando as limitações dos modelos e como aplica-los no mundo real. Prático sem perder a essência da teoria. Nota 10 para o professor. Ideal para quem tem um nível de inglês intermediário e já conhece um pouco sobre modelos estatísticos
