    About the Course

    This course explores different time series business forecasting methods. The course covers a variety of business forecasting methods for
    different types of components present in time series data — level, trending, and seasonal. We will learn about the theoretical methods and
    apply these methods to business data using Microsoft Excel. These forecasting methods will be programmed into Microsoft Excel, displayed
    graphically, and we will optimise these models to produce accurate forecasts. We will compare different models and their forecasts to decide
    which model best suits our business' needs.

    The course content is just superb, and the way the faculty is teaching the course is just fantastic. I did not find any course on time series forecasting having such kind of conceptual clarity.
