regression with lagged values data analysis tool in excel

Some of you may be thinking that this sounds just like a linear regression – it sure does sound that way and is – in general – the same idea with additional features of the model that includes the idea of ‘lag variables’. Autoregression vs Linear RegressionĪutoregression modeling is a modeling technique used for time series data that assumes linear continuation of the series so that previous values in the time series can be used to predict futures values. You can jump over to view my jupyter notebook (simplified without comments) here. In this post, we are going to talk about Autoregression models and how you might be able to apply them to forecasting time series problems.īefore we get into the forecasting time series, let’s talk a bit about autoregression models as well as some of the steps you need to take before you dive into using them when using them in forecasting time series data. This is (yet) another post on forecasting time series data (you can find all the forecasting posts here).
