i really like this course and learned a lot thankyou.
Basics of R and other sub-topics need to be introduced before the topic is taken up in a video.
Despite several ID verifications, I have not received the Course certificate till date.
Covers basics of time series modeling techniques and applications in R. Doesn't go deep into statistics behind models
