Deep Learning for Time Series Cookbook

By: Vitor Cerqueira, Luís Roque

Overview of this book

Most organizations exhibit a time-dependent structure in their processes, including fields such as finance. By leveraging time series analysis and forecasting, these organizations can make informed decisions and optimize their performance. Accurate forecasts help reduce uncertainty and enable better planning of operations. Unlike traditional approaches to forecasting, deep learning can process large amounts of data and help derive complex patterns. Despite its increasing relevance, getting the most out of deep learning requires significant technical expertise. This book guides you through applying deep learning to time series data with the help of easy-to-follow code recipes. You’ll cover time series problems, such as forecasting, anomaly detection, and classification. This deep learning book will also show you how to solve these problems using different deep neural network architectures, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or transformers. As you progress, you’ll use PyTorch, a popular deep learning framework based on Python to build production-ready prediction solutions. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to solve different time series tasks with deep learning using the PyTorch ecosystem.

Univariate forecasting with ARIMA

ARIMA is a univariate time series forecasting method based on two components: an autoregression part and a moving average part. In autoregression, a lag refers to a previous point or points in the time series data that are used to predict future values. For instance, if we’re using a lag of one, we’d use the value observed in the previous time step to model a given observation. The moving average part uses past errors to model the future observations of the time series.

Getting ready

To work with the ARIMA model, you’ll need to install the statsmodels Python package if it’s not already installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install -U statsmodels

For this recipe, we’ll use the same dataset as in the previous recipe.

How to do it…

In Python, you can use the ARIMA model from the statsmodels library. Here’s a basic example of how to fit an ARIMA model:

import pandas as pd
