Time Series Analysis & Forecasting
4 November, 2024 – Virtual
From financial data to resource planning, and website visitors to measurement monitoring, time-series data surrounds us. But how can you know what the future holds? This two-day course empowers you to go beyond merely “spotting trends” to making data-driven business forecasts.
When this course is delivered virtually, it is split into half-days (4h) instead of the usual full days (8h).
