A Basic Time Series Forecasting Course with Python
Tóm tắt
The aim of this paper is to present a set of Python-based tools to develop forecasts using time series data sets. The material is based on a 4-week course that the author has taught for 7 years to students on operations research, management science, analytics, and statistics 1-year MSc programmes. However, it can easily be adapted to various other audiences, including executive management or some undergraduate programmes. No particular knowledge of Python is required to use this material. Nevertheless, we assume a good level of familiarity with standard statistical forecasting methods such as exponential smoothing, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), and regression-based techniques, which is required to deliver such a course. Access to relevant data, codes, and lecture notes, which serve as based for this material, is made available (see

) for anyone interested in teaching such a course or developing some familiarity with the mathematical background of relevant methods and tools.
