I have read 10 books related to time series data, so I will write a book review.
About the standing position of each book
I'm worried about what axis to explain the standing position, but this time I tried to position it as "discretion and prejudice" on the two axes of "target reader level" and "relationship with time series".
Introduction
At work, I use various methods for various data related to data analysis, but when I analyze it, there are surprisingly many time-series data.
Numerical predictions and anomaly detection are often recorded with the time. In order to gain knowledge about this time series data, I decided to read a comprehensive book and gain knowledge. This time, I would like to help you purchase your book by making a book review of "What is written in which book and what is the relationship with other books?"
"Check the standing position of this book" "If it's a time-series book, this book is in Akan" Please let me know if you have any.
This article has a similar concept to Book Guide for Time Series Analysis.
"Which is better, python or R?" For time series data
--Both python and R have abundant data analysis library packages, and the speed from paper to implementation is fast. --There are many similar things that can be visualized and functions in both python and R. --Python is advantageous for deep learning --Machine learning is led by python with excellent scikit-learn --R also has attractive auxiliary libraries such as tidymodels and recipes. ――R is the only “statistical language” for the “ease of execution” of tests and visualizations. --Stan for MCMC is available in both R and python -** R leads the time series modeling **
From the above, if you want to learn time series, we recommend choosing R language.

About time series prediction methods and types
The methods used to predict time-series data, including time-series modeling, can be broadly divided into four methods (** arbitrarily **).
- Autoregressive system
- State space system
- Machine learning regression
- Deep learning
1. Autoregressive system
AR, ARMA, ARIMA, SARIMA, ARIMAX, SARIMAX, ARCH, GARCH, VAR
It is a group of time-series modeling methods that have been around for a long time, and it is not obsolete enough to be used even in modern times.
Time-series data expresses time-series data as a function by decomposing it into several components such as "trend", "autocorrelation (cycle)", "season (periodic cycle)", and "error". Method.
↑ It is decomposed like this (the figure is the output of prophet).
In order to decompose the data into these components, engineering such as ** autoregressive, unit root test, d-order difference, model selection by AIC **, etc. is required.
It may seem difficult, but in modern times the hurdles are low because the modeling of autoregressive systems is basically automated. However, theoretical knowledge is also required for "understanding and consideration" of modeling results.
If you don't know "what theory do you calculate?" ・ Is the model wrong as a result of automatic determination? ・ Is it data that can be modeled by autoregressive in the first place? You will overlook important parts such as.
(I read several books and realized the importance of understanding the theory of machine learning.)
2. State space system
We will model time series data based on the idea that it can be obtained by "probabilistically adding a value" to a numerical value called "state". Consider two mathematical formulas, the "observation equation" and the "equation of state". When trying to model the temperature in Japan, we can first consider the periodic waveform of hot summers and cold winters.
However, one summer there was a lot of rain and the average temperature was falling.
When the periodic waveform is treated as a Japanese temperature model, such changes cannot be predicted, but If the waveform is corrected from the record of "whether it rained", the decrease in temperature may be reflected. It is a method of creating a model based on the idea.
"Did it rain?" Here is created as an equation expressing "state". Since it is considered that the "state" affects the data, there is an advantage that it becomes easier to explain the change by checking the value of the state when considering "why the value was reached".
The word "filter" that appears in the state space model refers to the algorithm used to create and correct "states". In the process of creating a state-space model, the probability density function, which corresponds to posterior probabilities, becomes complicated, and it is necessary to generate random numbers by MCMC in order to estimate its parameters.
3. Machine learning regression
There is a regression model as a machine learning method. This is a method of predicting numerical values using peripheral explanatory variables and past time points, instead of time-series modeling. In the old days, methods such as SVM (SVR) and recently GBDT and LightGNM have been active in data analysis competitions, etc., and have a wide range of applications such as "solving classification problems, quick calculation, and handling multivariates". I feel that it is used casually.
If you know time series modeling, know the theory, and it is easy to formulate, select time series modeling. If you find it multivariate or difficult to formulate, try regressing with another machine learning model.
Isn't it a good approach?
Read time series books to help you decide if you should choose time series modeling. If you want to know about machine learning (classification / regression), I will introduce the following books.
| index | title | Description | code | Author / Publishing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11th book | Data analysis technology that wins with Kaggle | A cohesive book on how to use the techniques used in the kaggle competition | python | Daisuke Kadowaki:Technical Review Company |
4. Deep learning
When using deep learning for series data, RNNs and improved LSTMs are often used. Sometimes, in the case of multivariate, it may be solved as regression by multi-layer NN from the idea introduced in "3. Regression of machine learning". This is a common problem in deep learning, but it can be a problem when asked to explain predicted values.
I don't have any knowledge about books that I can introduce yet, so I will omit it. (Is a book like Mr. Nest basket good? We are waiting for a book recommendation)
If you read 11 books and give some advice to yourself at the beginning
If you would like to recommend it to a complete beginner who will start time series modeling / analysis in the future, do the following. I didn't think about "prediction (regression) with a machine learning model" here, but just thought about a way to understand "time series modeling".
--Basics of time series analysis and state space model (cover of Hayabusa) --Simple mathematical formulas and simple explanations of the basics of time series and autoregressive models -** AR, ARMA, ARIMA, SARIMA, ARIMAX, SARIMAX, VAR (partial), state space, Kalman filter, MCMC ** -** You can know all the basics such as unit root, ADF test ** --Story tailored and easy to read --Personally, the text was easy to understand (easy to read) --Econometric analysis by R --There is also an explanation of how to touch and operate the R language. --Getting to know the autoregressive model understood by Hayabusa and ** ARCH, GARCH ** --Time series analysis from the basics --Further squeeze the knowledge of state space -** Kalman filter, particle filter, MCMC ** --Read a supplementary reader about the Kalman filter if you want to follow the path of time series modeling --VAR empirical analysis learned from R --Use the VAR function with R --Understanding multivariate time series modeling techniques (** VAR **)
I think that you have enough power to fight using the time series modeling method so far.
For further progress and growth
--Measurement time series analysis of economic and finance data --Understand the mathematical background of time series modeling
If you read from a beginner to a policy you want to grow
--Econometrics --Understanding the concept of data analysis, statistics, and machine learning from the basics --If you want to move on to finance and economy, "** Finance Machine Learning " ――If you want to improve as a machine learning engineer, " win with kaggle **"
that's all
So far, I have read the time-series books and thought about their impressions, book reviews, and recommendations.
・ "Time-series data analysis that can be used immediately in the field" is for the basics, and it seems that the priority is low because there are few introductions of time-series modeling methods probably because it is old ・ Although "Econometric Analysis by R" is an old book, there are many time-series modeling methods to handle, and basic R operation methods are also described, so I thought that it could be absorbed in many cases, so I raised the priority a little.
I hope it helps you in your learning.
