Time series and Predictive analytic tools

[RAMN]

Hi community,

Anyone can help me with the information related to time series and predictive analytic models and also which model works best for what kind of data set with sample workflows if any.

Thanks,

Ram

I suggest taking a look at the tool mastery series; this gives you information about each model type as well as when to use each:

Also, you may want to look into using the new Intelligence Suite. This will walk you step by step on setting up the model type as well as the variables used.

Hi @RAMN,

I would also suggest the Data Science Learning Path in Academy! It includes lessons on both Predictive Analytics and Time Series.

Hello @RAMN 

Alteryx Designer provides some great sample workflows. This is the path to find the predictive tools samples:

Also, there is a Data Science Learning path that you may find helpful:

Hi @ArtApa and All,

Thanks for all your inputs. 

Do you know how we can export the results from time series forecasting tools into different output formats like excel or pdf. Lets say I want to export the interactive(I) output from 'Timeseries forecasting' tool into some output file. I tried with reporting tools but not working. Please let me know if you have any solution.

Thanks,

Ramn

Hi @RAMN - The configuration will look something like:

Hi @ArtApa ,

Thanks for your reply. I tried this before it works with html output format and I am looking if we can export the output as a pdf file. If I give pdf as the output format then workflow is giving me the below error. 

Error: Render (76): Failed to render image: Timeout waiting for render event: Waited 3900 ms

Thanks,

Hi @RAMN - If you want a pdf report out of your tool you need to connect the Render tool to the R-Output Anchor (see below):

This will give you a report you want.

I'm afraid that you cannot save Interactive Report into a static pdf. You can open your html in web browser and then manually print it to pdf though.

Hi @ArtApa ,

Thanks..! The R output to pdf format worked. I think because of some security reasons I am not able to open html format output that's why I was looking for pdf output.

Thanks,

Ramn
