Session date: Aug 15, 2019 10:00am (Pacific Time)
Machine Learning is all the rage, but when does it make sense to use it for forecasting? How do statistical forecasting methods compare? In this presentation, Developer Advocate Anais Dotis-Georgiou will show you how the Holt-Winters forecasting algorithm works. Then we’ll use the HOLT_WINTERS() function with InfluxData to make our own time series forecast.
