Time Series Basics with Pandas

In my last post, I mentioned multiple selecting and filtering in Pandas library. I will talk about time series basics with Pandas in this post. Time series data in different fields such as finance and economy is an important data structure. The measured or observed values over time are in a time series structure. Pandas is very useful for time series analysis. There are tools that we can easily analyze.

In this article, I will explain the following topics.

What is the time series?
What are time series data structures?
How to create a time series?
What are the important methods used in time series?

Before starting the topic, our Medium page includes posts on data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. Please don’t forget to follow us on Medium 🌱 to see these posts and the latest posts.

Let’s get started.

What is Time Series Forecasting?

In this article, we will be discussing an algorithm that helps us analyze past trends and lets us focus on what is to unfold next so this algorithm is time series forecasting.

What is Time Series Analysis?

In this analysis, you have one variable -TIME. A time series is a set of observations taken at a specified time usually equal in intervals. It is used to predict future value based on previously observed data points.

Here some examples where time series is used.

Business forecasting
Understand the past behavior
Plan future
Evaluate current accomplishments.

Components of time series :

Trend: Let’s understand by example, let’s say in a new construction area someone open hardware store now while construction is going on people will buy hardware. but after completing construction buyers of hardware will be reduced. So for some times selling goes high and then low its called uptrend and downtrend.
**Seasonality: **Every year chocolate sell goes high during the end of the year due to Christmas. This same pattern happens every year while in the trend that is not the case. Seasonality is repeating same pattern at same intervals.
Irregularity: It is also called noise. When something unusual happens that affects the regularity, for example, there is a natural disaster once in many years lets say it is flooded so people buying medicine more in that period. This what no one predicted and you don’t know how many numbers of sales going to happen.
Cyclic: It is basically repeating up and down movements so this means it can go more than one year so it doesn’t have fix pattern and it can happen any time and it is much harder to predict.

Stationarity of a time series:

A series is said to be “strictly stationary” if the marginal distribution of Y at time t[p(Yt)] is the same as at any other point in time. This implies that the mean, variance, and covariance of the series Yt are time-invariant.

However, a series said to be “weakly stationary” or “covariance stationary” if mean and variance are constant and covariance of two-point Cov(Y1, Y1+k)=Cov(Y2, Y2+k)=const, which depends only on lag k but do not depend on time explicitly.

System Databases in SQL Server

Introduction

In SSMS, we many of may noticed System Databases under the Database Folder. But how many of us knows its purpose?. In this article lets discuss about the System Databases in SQL Server.

System Database

Fig. 1 System Databases

There are five system databases, these databases are created while installing SQL Server.

Master
Model
MSDB
Tempdb
Resource

Master

This database contains all the System level Information in SQL Server. The Information in form of Meta data.
Because of this master database, we are able to access the SQL Server (On premise SQL Server)

Model

This database is used as a template for new databases.
Whenever a new database is created, initially a copy of model database is what created as new database.

MSDB

This database is where a service called SQL Server Agent stores its data.
SQL server Agent is in charge of automation, which includes entities such as jobs, schedules, and alerts.

TempDB

The Tempdb is where SQL Server stores temporary data such as work tables, sort space, row versioning information and etc.
User can create their own version of temporary tables and those are stored in Tempdb.
But this database is destroyed and recreated every time when we restart the instance of SQL Server.

Resource

The resource database is a hidden, read only database that holds the definitions of all system objects.
When we query system object in a database, they appear to reside in the sys schema of the local database, but in actually their definitions reside in the resource db.

Important for Time Series in Pandas

In the last post, I talked about working with time series . In this post, I will talk about important methods in time series. Time series analysis is very frequently used in finance studies. Pandas is a very important library for time series analysis studies.

In summary, I will explain the following topics in this lesson,

Resampling
Shifting
Moving Window Functions
Time zone
