How to deal with irregular data in time series?

A common approach to analyzing unevenly spaced time series is to transform the data into equally spaced observations using some form of interpolation – most often linear – and then to apply existing methods for equally spaced data.

What is non equidistant data?

Non-equidistant calendar: Data is not equally spaced in time. An example of this is a monthly rainfall time series data where the time step between data point is one month (so time step can be 28, 29, 30 or 31 days).

What type of analysis uses equal time periods or intervals?

Time series analysis is a statistical technique that deals with time series data, or trend analysis. Time series data means that data is in a series of particular time periods or intervals.

How to calculate synchrony between time series data?

To calculate phase synchrony, we need to extract the phase of the signal which can be done by using the Hilbert transform which splits the signal into its phase and power ( learn more about Hilbert transform here ). This allows us to assess if two signals are in phase (moving up and down together) or out of phase.

What’s the difference between time series forecasting and regression?

The most important difference between a forecasting regression task type and regression task type within automated ML is including a feature in your data that represents a valid time series. A regular time series has a well-defined and consistent frequency and has a value at every sample point in a continuous time span.

How to train a time series forecast model?

If time series identifiers are not defined, the data set is assumed to be one time-series. To learn more about single time-series, see the energy_demand_notebook. The time series dataset frequency. This parameter represents the period with which events are expected to occur, such as daily, weekly, yearly, etc.

How to set up AutoML for time series forecasting?

Pass the training and validation data together, and set the number of cross validation folds with the n_cross_validations parameter in your AutoMLConfig. ROCV divides the series into training and validation data using an origin time point.
