bookChallenge: Visualizing Time Series Components

Task

Swipe to start coding

Your goal is to decompose a time series into its componentstrend, seasonality, and residuals — using the seasonal_decompose() function from statsmodels.

  1. Load the built-in "flights" dataset from seaborn.
  2. Extract the "passengers" column as your target time series.
  3. Apply seasonal_decompose() with an additive model and a period of 12 (months).
  4. Store the result in a variable called decomposition.
  5. Plot the original series, trend, seasonal, and residual components.

seasonal_decompose(series, model="additive", period=12) automatically splits the time series into four parts:

  • trend → long-term movement;
  • seasonal → repeating patterns;
  • resid → random noise;
  • observed → original data.

Each component can be accessed with attributes like .trend, .seasonal, .resid.
