Multivariate Time Series Forecasting in Python

In this article, we’ll explore how to use scikit-learn with mlforecast to train multivariate time series models in Python. Instead of wasting time and making mistakes in manual data preparation, let’s use the mlforecast library. It has tools that transform our raw time series data into the correct format for training and prediction with scikit-learn. It computes the main features we want when modeling time series, such as aggregations over sliding windows, lags, differences, etc....

Volatility Forecasting In Python

In this blog post, we will explore how we can use Python to forecast volatility using three methods: Naive, the popular GARCH and machine learning with scikit-learn. Volatility here is the standard deviation of the returns of a financial instrument. I will teach you starting points to kickstart your own research. Installing ARCH and mlforecast First we need to install the required packages. You can do it with pip: pip install arch pip install mlforecast or with conda:...
