What Time-series data is
Time-series data is a sequence of data points that are collected over a period of time. This type of data is often used to analyze trends over time to identify patterns and make predictions.
Steps for Time-series Data:
- Collect data: Gather the data points that need to be analyzed and stored in a time series database.
- Analyze data: Use statistical methods such as autocorrelation, seasonality, and lagging to identify patterns and trends in the data.
- Forecast data: Create models to predict future values of the time series data.
- Monitor data: Monitor the data over time to ensure that the models are performing as expected.
- Update data: Update the time series database as new data points are collected.
