Time Series with PyTorch
By :
Finally, we should discuss different time series structures. Like all data, time series come in a wide variety of structures. We tend to deal with two types of time series: univariate and multivariate, and extensions on these (i.e., panel data).
A univariate time series is the simplest structure, comprising a single variable (sometimes referred to as a component) measured at regular intervals of time. We commonly see this in stock prices, temperatures, and sales figures. Most time series with a single dependent variable can be treated as univariate, which can be advantageous when additional information (i.e., news sentiment) serves to decrease the quality of predictions.

With univariate time series down, let’s look at multivariate time series.
Multivariate time series are, unsurprisingly, composed of multiple variables measured simultaneously at regular...
