Overview of Time Series Data: Day 225 of 365 🚀📚✏️🚀

Hey, Timer!

Welcome to Day 225 of our #365DaysOfDataScience journey! 🎉

Today marks the beginning of our journey into Time Series Analysis. We’ll start by understanding what time series data is and the key components that make it unique.

🔑 What We’ll Be Exploring Today:

- What is Time Series Data?  

  Time series data involves data points collected or recorded at specific time intervals. We’ll explore how this differs from other types of data.

- Components of Time Series:

  - Trend: The long-term movement in the data.

  - Seasonality: Repeating patterns or cycles in data.

  - Noise: Random variability in the data.

- Use Cases of Time Series Analysis in Real-World Applications:  

  Time series analysis is used in many areas, including:

  - Stock market prediction.

  - Forecasting sales or demand.

  - Weather predictions.

📚 Learning Resources:

- Read: Chapter 1 of "Practical Time Series Forecasting" by Galit Shmueli.  

  This chapter will introduce you to the basics of time series and its components.

  - Watch: An introductory video on Time Series Analysis from YouTube or Coursera. This video will help visualize how time series analysis works and its real-world applications.

📚 Learning Together✏️:

Time series can feel a little different from other data types, but once we get a hang of the basics, we’ll see how powerful it is! Let’s dive into it and learn step by step. I’ll be right there with you as we uncover the trends, patterns, and noise in time series data.

Happy Learning & See You Soon!
