Preprocess time series data for various machine learning models
Visualize time series data
Compare the time series predictions of 4 machine learning models
In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to preprocess time series data, visualize time series data and compare the time series predictions of 4 machine learning models.You will create time series analysis models in the python programming language to predict the daily deaths due to SARS-CoV-19, or COVID-19. You will create and train the following models: SARIMAX, Prophet, neural networks and XGBOOST. You will visualize data using the matplotlib library, and extract features from a time series data set, perform data splitting and normalization. To successfully complete this project, learners should have prior Python programming experience, a basic understanding of machine learning, and a familiarity of the Pandas library. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Preprocess the data using pandas to be ready for machine learning, and visualize the data using matplotlib
Create a SARIMAX model, optimize the model hyperparameters, use the model for forecasting future COVID-19 deaths and visualize the results
Create a prophet model and use the model for forecasting future COVID-19 deaths and visualize the results
Create a function that extracts features for training the XGBOOST and a feedforward neural network models
Split time series feature dataset into training and test datasets and perform data normalization
Train an XGBOOST model and a feedforward neural network model, and finally compare the predictions of all the models covered in the project

What will I get if I purchase a Guided Project?
By purchasing a Guided Project, you'll get everything you need to complete the Guided Project including access to a cloud desktop workspace through your web browser that contains the files and software you need to get started, plus step-by-step video instruction from a subject matter expert.
Are Guided Projects available on desktop and mobile?
Because your workspace contains a cloud desktop that is sized for a laptop or desktop computer, Guided Projects are not available on your mobile device.
Who are the instructors for Guided Projects?
Guided Project instructors are subject matter experts who have experience in the skill, tool or domain of their project and are passionate about sharing their knowledge to impact millions of learners around the world.
Can I download the work from my Guided Project after I complete it?
You can download and keep any of your created files from the Guided Project. To do so, you can use the “File Browser” feature while you are accessing your cloud desktop.
What is the refund policy?
Guided Projects are not eligible for refunds. See our full refund policy.
Is financial aid available?
Financial aid is not available for Guided Projects.
Can I audit a Guided Project and watch the video portion for free?
Auditing is not available for Guided Projects.
How much experience do I need to do this Guided Project?
At the top of the page, you can press on the experience level for this Guided Project to view any knowledge prerequisites. For every level of Guided Project, your instructor will walk you through step-by-step.
Can I complete this Guided Project right through my web browser, instead of installing special software?
Yes, everything you need to complete your Guided Project will be available in a cloud desktop that is available in your browser.
What is the learning experience like with Guided Projects?
You'll learn by doing through completing tasks in a split-screen environment directly in your browser. On the left side of the screen, you'll complete the task in your workspace. On the right side of the screen, you'll watch an instructor walk you through the project, step-by-step.
