Course Overview
A time series refers to an ordered collection of data usually in time, an essential concept in multiple disciplines including engineering, medical, business, economics etc. As a subject, time-series has fascinated data analysts in the field of humanities, medicine, engineering, and climatology, among others. The Applied Time-Series Analysis online course by Swayam is a comprehensive programme offered by IIT Madras.
The Applied Time-Series Analysis Certification Syllabus will explore topics such as linear random processes, stationarity and ergodicity, parameter estimation methods and more. This is 12 weeks course and is targeted at students and working professionals from related fields.
The time series concept is foundational for researchers interested in the development of models from simple and multivariate data. The Applied Time-Series Analysis Certification Course is a postgraduate programme and is free to enrol students interested in the subject. After finishing the course, you can earn a certificate by qualifying for the proctored exam.
