4. Stationary Models

What will be our first step? Let's start with stationary models! Create your first predictive model that will forecast time series.

Examples of Stationary Time Series

Simple Moving Average

Autoregression

5. Non-Stationary Models

Most of the data you work with is non-stationary. Learn how to process such data and what models to use to predict it.

6. Solve Real Problems

Let's dive into a variety of interesting tasks that you may encounter while working with time series! Find out how big these challenges are and what models we can use to solve them.

Weather Forecasting

Store Demand Forecast

Financial Markets

Predict the Emergence of Repeat Customers

Medicine: EEG Forecasting

Examples of Non-Stationary Time Series

As you already know, the main difference between non-stationary and stationary data is that the first one has a change in time properties such as the mean, variance, or covariance function.

Examples of non-stationary processes are random walks with or without drift (slow, steady change) and deterministic trends (trends that are constant, positive, or negative, independent of time throughout the life of the series).

An example of a non-stationary time series is recording atmospheric temperature readings measured every 10 seconds. At any given time, the average of the readings equals the true temperature. On the other hand, the average value changes with time - just as the true temperature changes with time.

Also, data on international airline flights is an example of a non-stationary time series. The number of passengers on certain routes varies depending on the season.

Examples of non-stationary data are:
