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.

Preparing a multivariate time series for supervised learning

The first recipe of this chapter addresses the problem of preparing a multivariate time series for supervised learning. We’ll show how the sliding window method we used in the previous chapter can be extended to solve this task. Then, we’ll demonstrate how to prepare a time series using TimeSeriesDataSet, a PyTorch Forecasting class that handles the preprocessing steps of time series.

Getting ready

We’ll use the same time series we analyzed in Chapter 1. We’ll need to load the dataset with pandas using the following code:

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('assets/daily_multivariate_timeseries.csv',
                   parse_dates=['Datetime'],
                   index_col=&apos...
