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:
- Data Collection: Obtain a time-series dataset, such as historical stock prices or temperature readings.
- Preprocessing: Preprocess the data by handling missing values, normalizing the data, and splitting it into training and testing sets.
- 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.
- Training: Train the Gaussian Process model on the training dataset, optimizing the kernel parameters.
- Forecasting: Use the trained model to forecast future values of the time-series data, generating probabilistic predictions.
- 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.
- Reporting: Write a report detailing the methodology, results, and insights gained from the assignment, adhering to the Gaussian Processes Assignment Rubric.
Submission Instructions:
