Time Series Models

This project aims to educate students about various time series models used for forecasting in economics through a 6-7 week course, where students will learn the theory and implementation of models like AR, MA, ARMA and SARIMA through weekly classes and assignments applying these models with Python to real stock price and other datasets to forecast future trends. Mentors will provide 2 theory classes, 1 doubt class per week following books on forecasting and time series analysis using the statsmodels package in Python.

Time Series Models in Economics

To predict variables of interest (Level 3(ish))


Description

This project aims to educate mentees about the various Time series models used
for forecasting in the field of economics (and other fields too). Students will learn
to apply the suitable time series model to a dataset, example Stock Prices and
forecast future trends. The focus is divided equally between theory and
implementation of these models.

Project Details Expected Duration : 6-7 weeks
Time Commitment : 8-9
hr/week
Pre-reqs : Probability and basic
statistics
Meets : 1-2 theory classes, 1
doubt class per week
We’ll primarily be following two books,
Forecasting & control (Box and Jenkins) and
Time Series Analysis and Its Applications
(Shumway and Stoffer) along with some
Note
Tutorial Series online. For the python codes,
we’ll be using statsmodels.tsa package.
