Deep Learning for Time Series Cookbook

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.

Training a linear regression model for forecasting with a multivariate time series

In this recipe, we’ll use PyTorch to train a linear regression model as our first forecasting model fit on a multivariate time series. We’ll show you how to use TimeSeriesDataSet to handle the preprocessing steps for training the model and passing data to it.

Getting ready

We’ll start this recipe with the mvtseries dataset that we used in the previous recipe:

import pandas as pd
mvtseries = pd.read_csv('assets/daily_multivariate_timeseries.csv',
            parse_dates=['datetime'],
            index_col='datetime')

Now, let’s see how we can use this dataset to train a PyTorch model.

How to do it…

In the following code, we’ll describe the necessary steps to prepare the time series and build a linear...
