What is Time Series Analysis?
‘Time’ is the most important factor which ensures success in a business. It’s difficult to keep up with the pace of time. But, technology has developed some powerful methods using which we can ‘see things’ ahead of time!
Nope, not the time machine, we are talking about the methods of prediction & forecasting. As the name ‘time series forecasting’ suggests, it involves working on time (years, days, hours, minutes) based data, to derive hidden insights to make informed decision making.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and there are numerous prediction problems that involve a time component and concepts of time series analysis come into picture.
