Overview
Time-series analysis and forecasting is one of the most common and important tasks in business analytics today. The massive production of data through the digitalization of Healthcare, Finance and other industries, the rise of Smart Cities and IoT use cases, will further drive the need for time series analysis.
Time series forecasting problems differ from typical classification or regression problems. They require careful treatment to deal with the time sensitive nature of the data and other practical modelling constraints. In this session, we share how to utilize time series to predict future values. We showcase the H2O time-series functionality through practical use cases, and share best practices for running time series experiments with H2O.
By watching the session you will learn: Traditional time series forecasting solutions and their limitations Practical considerations in time series forecasting Time series forecasting using H2O and best practices Real-world applications including prediction of the COVID-19 impact and other use cases
