Did you know that avocados can teach you about time series and what they do? To understand how this is possible, just show up for the event!
It is likely that you often encounter graphs of time series analysis. Time series graphs are one of the most common ways data is visualized. There are two major aspects to time series we will cover here. Time series analysis and time series forecasting. If you think predicting the future is a pretty neat super-power, then you’ll want to learn about some modern software techniques that make this possible. This workshop is a perfect gateway for gaining new fundamental perspectives about times series data. Getting a glimpse at what is possible with modern techniques opens the door for you to better understand your world with data. If this sounds like an essential skill, that’s because it is.

Target Audience:

This live online workshop has been designed with the beginner in mind.

If you have learned some Python in our Intro To Python or Intro To Panda’s events, it will be even easier to follow the time series coding walkthrough. Knowing some Python will help, but is not required.

What You Will Learn:

What is a time series?
Where does time series data come from?
What are some practical applications derived from time series data?

Types of forecasting

Investigating an example time series dataset (this may involve avocados)
How to visualize a time series
Running a time series forecast

How to Prepare:

Install Google Chrome (any modern browser should work): https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/

Sign up for a Google account if you don't already have one (We will be using an online code editor by Google)

Have the Zoom Client for Video Meetings installed well before the webinar begins: https://zoom.us/download

Link to join the workshop will be provided to you once you RSVP.

Instructor:

Connor Slagle

I am a data scientist with a fondness for biotechnology, with degrees in both chemical and environmental engineering. Recent advances in data science are revolutionizing all aspects of contemporary business, from product refinement to customer identification; In no field is this as evident (or as exciting) as in biotechnology.
I’m focused on leveraging these skills to improve targeted, non-invasive drug delivery in oncology. Additionally, I love spreading my understanding of machine learning concepts through evangelism at Galvanize.
