date_avgprice
), focusing solely on 'Date' and 'Price'. This DataFrame aggregates the data by date, calculating the average price for each day. This approach effectively handles multiple entries per date and simplifies the dataset for clearer analysis.This updated approach and guide will help in gaining a deeper understanding of the Melbourne housing market, balancing the focus on broader market trends through time series analysis and detailed insights from the regression analysis. The goal is to achieve a holistic view of the market dynamics, combining temporal patterns with property characteristics.

will be refactored to 4.1_moving_average.py
.4.2_exponential_smoothing.py
, which will be dedicated to implementing and analyzing the Exponential Smoothing model.4.1_moving_average.py
, I tailored the DataFrame specifically for time series analysis, focusing solely on price data and removing the count aggregation from the previous code.ExponentialSmoothing
from statsmodels.tsa.holtwinters
. This library is crucial for applying the Holt-Winters method to our time series data.TimeSeriesSplit
from Scikit-learn for cross-validation, acknowledging the sequential nature of time series data where random sampling isn't appropriate.
Introduction to Time Series Analysis with Cleaned Melbourne Housing Data
Issue Description
This issue tracks the journey of diving into time series analysis on the Melbourne housing market, utilizing the cleaned dataset (
1_clean_melb_data.py
). The primary focus is to grasp the fundamentals of time series modelling and to observe housing market trends and seasonality.Strategy and Learning Approach
1_clean_melb_data.py
, which is cleaned but not transformed, to retain the original scale of price data.Documentation and Evolution of Analysis
Goal
The overarching goal is to develop a solid foundation in time series analysis applied to real-world data, starting with a more straightforward dataset and gradually introducing complexities like outliers to deepen market trend understanding.
