STL Decomposition: Because Your Seasonal Pattern Has Commitment Issues
📰 Medium · Data Science
Learn how to apply STL decomposition to handle seasonal patterns with commitment issues, and discover how LOESS can save you from incorrect assumptions
Action Steps
- Apply STL decomposition to your time series data to extract trend, seasonal, and residual components
- Use LOESS to smooth the seasonal component and handle non-uniform patterns
- Visualize the decomposed components to identify patterns and anomalies
- Compare the results of STL decomposition with other techniques, such as moving averages or exponential smoothing
- Implement STL decomposition in your favorite programming language, such as Python or R, using libraries like statsmodels or forecast
Who Needs to Know This
Data scientists and analysts can benefit from this technique to improve their time series forecasting and analysis, and work with data engineers to implement it in their pipelines
Key Insight
💡 STL decomposition can help you handle seasonal patterns with non-uniform frequencies or amplitudes, and LOESS can smooth out the seasonal component to improve forecasting
