Resource Overview

Time series refers to a sequence of data points arranged at specific time intervals, representing various metrics such as product demand, production volume, or sales figures. The intervals can be measured in any time unit (hours, days, weeks, months). When establishing relationships with dependent variables proves difficult or data collection is challenging, regression analysis may not be suitable. For cases where high prediction accuracy isn't critical, time series analysis offers an effective alternative. Implementation typically involves preprocessing data using wavelet decomposition (e.g., MATLAB's wavedec function) to extract features, followed by neural network training with functions like feedforwardnet for pattern recognition and forecasting.

Detailed Documentation

Time series refers to a dataset arranged at specific time intervals, representing various numerical values such as product demand, production volume, or sales figures. The time intervals can be any unit including hours, days, weeks, or months. Typically, when predicting these metrics, regression analysis becomes unsuitable due to difficulties in establishing relationships with dependent variables or challenges in collecting relevant data. Alternatively, when prediction accuracy requirements are not extremely high, time series analysis methods can be employed. These methods provide deeper insights into data trends and patterns through algorithmic approaches like wavelet decomposition (using MATLAB's dwt function for multi-resolution analysis) and neural network modeling (implemented via patternnet or timedelaynet for sequential data processing). This combination enables better understanding of temporal dependencies and improves forecasting precision through feature extraction and nonlinear pattern learning.
