Codeless Time Series Analysis with KNIME

By: KNIME AG, Corey Weisinger, Maarit Widmann, Daniele Tonini

Overview of this book

This book will take you on a practical journey, teaching you how to implement solutions for many use cases involving time series analysis techniques. This learning journey is organized in a crescendo of difficulty, starting from the easiest yet effective techniques applied to weather forecasting, then introducing ARIMA and its variations, moving on to machine learning for audio signal classification, training deep learning architectures to predict glucose levels and electrical energy demand, and ending with an approach to anomaly detection in IoT. There’s no time series analysis book without a solution for stock price predictions and you’ll find this use case at the end of the book, together with a few more demand prediction use cases that rely on the integration of KNIME Analytics Platform and other external tools. By the end of this time series book, you’ll have learned about popular time series analysis techniques and algorithms, KNIME Analytics Platform, its time series extension, and how to apply both to common use cases.

Exploring the KNIME software

In this first section, we will introduce you to the features of the KNIME software, which covers two products: the open source KNIME Analytics Platform, and the KNIME Server commercial product. Together, these two products enable all operations in a data science application, from data access to modeling and from deployment to model monitoring.

We will first introduce you to KNIME Analytics Platform.

Introducing KNIME Analytics Platform for creating data science applications

KNIME Analytics Platform is an open source tool for creating data science applications. It is based on visual programming, making it fast to learn, accessible, and transparent. If needed, you can also integrate other tools—including scripts—into your visual workflows.

In visual programming, each individual task is indicated by a colored block, which in KNIME Analytics Platform is called a node. A node has an intuitive name describing its task and a graphical...
