Time series | Exploration on Crypto price dataset

I wanted to see a notebook / tutorial that would take me through the basics of working with time series.

Most notebooks I saw were either not very rigorous or they took me straight into price prediction using some methods, which is not what I needed right away.

So I wrote my own introductory notebook. I acquired most of the information I used here through reading Introduction to Time Series Forecasting With Python by Jason Brownlee.

See project repository on GitHub.

What this project is:

• a good starting point for understanding time series data and how it differs from problems with other type of tabular data

• a cookbook to use for exploration when starting to work with a new dataset

What this project is not:

• it is not about prediction. It stops at exploration and understanding the data.

• it's not meant for advanced practitioners of asset price prediction - unless you want to revisit some concepts.
