Overview of this book

Predicting the future, whether it's market trends, energy demand, or website traffic, has never been more crucial. This practical, hands-on guide empowers you to build and deploy powerful time series forecasting models. Whether you’re working with traditional statistical methods or cutting-edge deep learning architectures, this book provides structured learning and best practices for both. Starting with the basics, this data science book introduces fundamental time series concepts, such as ARIMA and exponential smoothing, before gradually progressing to advanced topics, such as machine learning for time series, deep neural networks, and transformers. As part of your fundamentals training, you’ll learn preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation. As you progress, you’ll also explore global forecasting models, ensemble methods, and probabilistic forecasting techniques. This new edition goes deeper into transformer architectures and probabilistic forecasting, including new content on the latest time series models, conformal prediction, and hierarchical forecasting. Whether you seek advanced deep learning insights or specialized architecture implementations, this edition provides practical strategies and new content to elevate your forecasting skills.

Interpretability

Interpretability can be defined as the degree to which a human can understand the cause of a decision. In machine learning and artificial intelligence, that translates to the degree to which someone can understand the how and why of an algorithm and its predictions. There are two ways to look at interpretability—transparency and post hoc interpretation.

Transparency is when the model is inherently simple and can be simulated or thought about using human cognition. A human should be able to fully understand the inputs and the process a model takes to convert these inputs to outputs. This is a very stringent condition that almost none of the model machine learning or deep learning models satisfy.

This is where post hoc interpretation techniques shine. There is a wide variety of techniques that use the inputs and outputs of a model to understand why a model has made the predictions it has.

There are many popular techniques such as permutation feature...
