Content

In this course, students will begin by learning about time series data in biology and medicine during
the first week. They will explore data visualization and classical methods for time series analysis,
as well as modern machine learning approaches. In the second week, students will work on their
own projects and present them to their classmates.

Objectives

By the end of this practical course, students will be able to understand and define various types of
time series data. They know about classical forecasting methods, some modern machine learning
techniques, and how to evaluate and interpret the results of time series analyses.
