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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have taken a tour of the KNIME software and introduced the basic skills of visual programming. In addition, we have shown the required setup for time series analysis in KNIME.

Throughout the chapter, you familiarized yourself with the KNIME workbench and the basic concepts of nodes and workflows. You completed your first workflow, learned about the time series components, and configured Python in KNIME.

You gained all the skills you will need to follow along with the practical use cases in this book and KNIME workflows in general.

In the next chapter, we will introduce common data preparation steps in time series analysis. Let’s get going!
