| Summary: | Prophet enables Python and R developers to build scalable time series forecasts. This course will help you implement Prophet's cutting-edge forecasting techniques to model future data with higher accuracy and with very few lines of code. In this course, you will learn how to use Facebook Prophet to do time series analysis and forecasting. You will learn how the Prophet works under the hood (that is, what are its modeling assumptions?) and the Prophet API (that is, how to write the code). This course is a practice-oriented course, demonstrating how to prepare your data for Prophet, fit a model, and use it to forecast, analyze the results, and evaluate the model's predictions. We will apply Prophet to a variety of datasets, including store sales and stock prices. You will learn how to use Prophet to plot the model's in-sample predictions and forecast. Then, learn how to plot the components of the fitted model. About The Author Lazy Programmer: The Lazy Programmer is an AI and machine learning engineer with a focus on deep learning, who also has experience in data science, big data engineering, and full-stack software engineering. With a background in computer engineering and specialization in machine learning, he holds two master's degrees in computer engineering and statistics with applications to financial engineering. His expertise in online advertising and digital media includes work as both a data scientist and big data engineer. He has created deep learning models for prediction and has experience in recommendation systems using reinforcement learning and collaborative filtering. He is a skilled instructor who has taught at universities including Columbia, NYU, Hunter College, and The New School. He has web programming expertise, with experience in technologies such as Python, Ruby/Rails, PHP, and Angular, and has provided his services to multiple businesses You will also learn how to deal with outliers, missing data, and non-daily (for example, monthly) data. By the end of this course, you will be able to use Prophet confidently to forecast your data. What You Will Learn Prepare your data (a Pandas dataframe) for Facebook Prophet Learn how to fit a Prophet model to a time series Plot the components of the fitted model Model holidays and exogenous regressors Evaluate your model with forecasting metrics Learn how to do changepoint detection with Prophet Audience Anyone interested in data science, machine learning, or who wishes to use time series analysis on their own data should take this course. Good Python programming skills are required, as well as knowledge of Pandas, Dataframes, and preferably some familiarity with Scikit-Learn, though this is not required. |
