Time Series Analysis with R

Time Series Analysis with R

Course Level: Intermediate

Predicting the future is a tough problem. Time series analysis makes it possible to assess whether or not predictions are possible and, if they are, build a model which can generate informed predictions for the future with realistic estimates of uncertainty. This training course will introduce participants to the packages in the Tidyverts.
