SaLLy - Time Series Forecasting

Time series forecasting is a subfield of data analysis and predictive modeling that focuses on predicting future values of a time-dependent dataset based on historical patterns and trends. Time series data consists of observations collected sequentially over time, such as stock prices, weather patterns, or sales figures. Time series forecasting involves developing mathematical models and statistical techniques that can capture the complex patterns in the data and use them to make accurate predictions about future values. These predictions can be used for a variety of applications, including business forecasting, financial modeling, weather forecasting, and more. Time series forecasting models can range from simple statistical models to complex machine learning algorithms, and the choice of model depends on the nature and complexity of the data and the specific application.


In this topic, we are interested in developing and using a wide range of techniques for time series analysis and forecasting to transform data into information and decision-making.
