About
This tutorial will teach you step by step how to handle the datasets you find on internet to make it proper time series data and help you understand the cleaning of time series data and how the big financial companies create popular indexes like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq to track the industry. The project will also guide you how to determine what other critical external factors will influence your portfolio. You will use ARIMA and SARIMAX models to predict your custom index performance. You will practice with the examples from Coincodex and United States Department of the Treasury.

A Look at the Project Ahead
- Understand the basic knowledge of time series
- Know your time series data and make raw data into a clean and prepared form
- Understand the index formation
- Create your own index
- Understand the training process of time series
- Apply ARIMA and SARIMAX models to forecast time series
