Data Forecasting and Segmentation Using Microsoft Excel
by Fernando Roque

English | 2022 | ISBN: ‎ 1803247738| 325 pages | True PDF EPUB | 30.56 MB


Perform time series forecasts, linear prediction, and data segmentation with no-code Excel machine learning
Key Features

Segment data, regression predictions, and time series forecasts without writing any code
Group multiple variables with K-means using Excel plugin without programming
Build, validate, and predict with a multiple linear regression model and time series forecasts

Book Description

Data Forecasting and Segmentation Using Microsoft Excel guides you through basic statistics to test whether your data can be used to perform regression predictions and time series forecasts. The exercises covered in this book use real-life data from Kaggle, such as demand for seasonal air tickets and credit card fraud detection.

You'll learn how to apply the grouping K-means algorithm, which helps you find segments of your data that are impossible to see with other analyses, such as business intelligence (BI) and pivot analysis. By analyzing groups returned by K-means, you'll be able to detect outliers that could indicate possible fraud or a bad function in network packets.

By the end of this Microsoft Excel book, you'll be able to use the classification algorithm to group data with different variables. You'll also be able to train linear and time series models to perform predictions and forecasts based on past data.
What you will learn

Test time series autocorrelation to build a useful forecast
Use Excel add-ins to run K-means without programming
Analyze segment outliers for possible data anomalies and fraud
Build, train, and validate multiple regression models and time series forecasts

Who this book is for
