Challenge 1 - Feature Engineering

Marco Zanotti

Content

This challenge is all about explorative data analysis (EDA) and features engineering in time series (Lectures 1 and 2).

The purpose of this challenge is to test your ability to effectively understand the dynamics of different time series allowing you to create one or more features’ recipe.

The analysis you perform at this first stage will be the basis to perform accurate forecasts during the next challenges.

Requirements

You are required to produce a fully reproducible notebook report explaining all the steps that takes you towards the creation of all the new features you would like to use in forecasting models.

At least one feature set for each time series has to be produced.
