SLCPython November 2020: Predicting the future with python

For our Nov 04, 2020 meetup, SLCPythonistas hung out and discussed the going ons of SLC tech and enjoyed a presentation by Dylan Gregersen about making predictions on time-series data with python. Comparisons to tableau and questions about different language models were discussed and can be found at the meetup's page:

Meetup Abstract:

Humans often want to know what the future will bring. Who will win the election? When will a pandemic end? Which choice of socks will optimize my individual happiness by next year? And while the future is never certain (e.g. 2020) we often learn from the past to predict what will happen in the future. And today, we have amazing technology and mathematics humans have developed to help us encode this more than ever before!
Dylan Gregersen will be presenting methodologies and Python code for doing time series forecasting. (He promised Faris and Joe not to do any covid related forecasting so don’t worry, he’ll not be touching that one). He’ll be going over a methodology for time series forecasting, several typical machine learning models, and how to take this code to production.
The crystal ball predicts...you will enjoy attending!
