Regression and Time-Series Analysis Training FAQs
This course is intended for professionals who have a good working knowledge of R, work with time-series data and want to create forecasts for future trends, need to model cyclical or seasonal data such as sales, customer volumes, web traffic, employee behaviors, etc.;
need a good background in basic statistics and statistical modeling
or want to stand out as data scientists with advanced predictive modeling and time-series analysis skills .
Students should have taken the Introduction to Data Science, R, and Visualization course or should have the equivalent knowledge of data manipulation, cleaning and visualization.
