In the second part in a series on tidy time series analysis, well again use tidyquant to investigate cran downloads this time focusing on rolling functions. The function extracts all possible subsequences of the same length of a time series or numeric vector, generating a set of sliding windows of data, often used to train machine learning methods. Our scope will be restricted to data exploring in a time series type of data set and not go to building time series models. Di erent types of time sampling require di erent approaches to the data analysis. Time series forecasting can be framed as a supervised learning problem.
This function takes a time series object x, a window size width. Time series data must be reframed as a supervised learning dataset before we can start using machine learning algorithms. The time series object in order to begin working with time series data and forecasting in r, you must first acquaint yourself with rs ts object. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or even at minutes level. Another common requirement when working with time series data is to apply a function on a rolling window of data. We will learn how to adjust x and yaxis ticks using the scales package, how to add trend lines to a scatter plot and how to customize plot labels, colors and overall plot appearance using ggthemes.
