Time-Series Forecasting with Gaussian Processes

Time-Series Forecasting with Gaussian Processes

Example Dataset:

Assignment Overview:

Students will use Gaussian Processes to model and forecast time-series data, such as stock prices or weather data. The goal is to understand how Gaussian Processes provide probabilistic predictions and quantify uncertainty.

Assignment Instructions:

  1. Data Collection: Obtain a time-series dataset, such as historical stock prices or temperature readings.
  2. Preprocessing: Preprocess the data by handling missing values, normalizing the data, and splitting it into training and testing sets.
  3. Model Implementation: Implement a Gaussian Process model using Python and the GPyTorch library. Define an appropriate kernel function and set up the model for regression.
  4. Training: Train the Gaussian Process model on the training dataset, optimizing the kernel parameters.
  5. Forecasting: Use the trained model to forecast future values of the time-series data, generating probabilistic predictions.
  6. Evaluation: Evaluate the model’s performance by comparing the forecasted values with the actual values in the testing dataset, using metrics such as mean squared error and log likelihood.
  7. Reporting: Write a report detailing the methodology, results, and insights gained from the assignment, adhering to the Gaussian Processes Assignment Rubric.
