Overview of this book

Julia is a fast and high performing language that's perfectly suited to data science with a mature package ecosystem and is now feature complete. It is a good tool for a data science practitioner. There was a famous post at Harvard Business Review that Data Scientist is the sexiest job of the 21st century. (https://hbr.org/2012/10/data-scientist-the-sexiest-job-of-the-21st-century). This book will help you get familiarised with Julia's rich ecosystem, which is continuously evolving, allowing you to stay on top of your game. This book contains the essentials of data science and gives a high-level overview of advanced statistics and techniques. You will dive in and will work on generating insights by performing inferential statistics, and will reveal hidden patterns and trends using data mining. This has the practical coverage of statistics and machine learning. You will develop knowledge to build statistical models and machine learning systems in Julia with attractive visualizations. You will then delve into the world of Deep learning in Julia and will understand the framework, Mocha.jl with which you can create artificial neural networks and implement deep learning. This book addresses the challenges of real-world data science problems, including data cleaning, data preparation, inferential statistics, statistical modeling, building high-performance machine learning systems and creating effective visualizations using Julia.

Preface

Chapter 9. Time Series

The capacity to demonstrate and perform decision modeling and examination is a crucial component of some real-world applications ranging from emergency medical treatment in intensive care units to military commands and control frameworks. Existing methodologies and techniques for deduction have not been progressively viable with applications where exchange offs between decision quality and computational tractability are essential. A successful way to deal with time-critical element decision modeling should give express backing to the demonstration of transient procedures and for managing time-critical circumstances.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • What is Forecasting?

  • Decision-making processes

  • What is Time Series?

  • Types of models

  • Trend analysis

  • Analysis of seasonality

  • ARIMA

  • Smoothing
