What is Time Series Analysis
A series of data points ordered in time or data
generated by a process over time. Time is the
independent variable. The goal is to make a
forecast for the future.

Data frequency - yearly, monthly, weekly,


hourly or even by seconds.
Represented by (t, ) or (t, ), t = 1, 2, …., T

Base the forecast of a variable on its own history.

Avoid need to specify causal relationship between the dependent and independent variables.

Combined with other independent variables, generally provide better results


Entire theory of time series
a) Stock Price Forecasting forecasting is based on the
assumption that past patterns in
the variable to forecast will
b) Sales Forecast continue to hold in the future.

Moving Next observation is the mean of all past observations upto a certain period
Average

Similar to moving average, but decreasing weight is assigned to each observation as we


Exponential move into past. In other words, less importance is given to observations as we
Smoothing move further from present.

ARIMA Next observation is the mean of all past observations upto a certain period
Simple Moving Average

• Useful in smoothening time


series to find its trend
• Equal importance to all
values inside MA window

Exponential Smoothing and Exponential Moving Average

• Exponential Smoothing takes all the data


• Exponential Moving average takes only k past data points (based on its period – k)
