Aim : Perform the data classification using classification algorithm using R or Python

Time series is a series of data points in which each data point is associated with a timestamp. A
simple example is the price of a stock in the stock market at different points of time on a given
day. Another example is the amount of rainfall in a region at different months of the year. R
language uses many functions to create, manipulate and plot the time series data. The

data for the time series is stored in an R object called time-series object. It is also a R data object
like a vector or data frame.

The time series object is created by using the ts() function.

Syntax

The basic syntax for ts() function in time series analysis is −

timeseries.object.name <- ts(data, start, end, frequency)

Following is the description of the parameters used −

• data is a vector or matrix containing the values used in the time series.

• start specifies the start time for the first observation in time series.

• end specifies the end time for the last observation in time series.

• frequency specifies the number of observations per unit time.

Except the parameter "data" all other parameters are optional

Consider the annual rainfall details at a place starting from January 2012.

We create an R time series object for a period of 12 months and plot it.

> rainfall <-c(799,1174.8,865.1,1334.6,635.4,918.5,685.5,998.6,784.2,985,882.8,1071)

> rainfall.timeseries <- ts(rainfall,start = c(2012,1),frequency = 12)

> print(rainfall.timeseries)
> png(file = "rainfall.png")

> plot(rainfall.timeseries)

> dev.off()

null device

​ 1

> plot(rainfall.timeseries)
