# Check ACF and PACF plots to determine number of AR terms and
# MA terms in ARMA model, or to spot seasonality/periodic trend
# Autoregressive forecast the next timestamp's value by
# regressing the previous values
# Moving Average forecast the next timestamp's value by
# averaging the previous values
# Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average is useful
# for non-stationary data, plus has an additional seasonal
# differencing parameter for seasonal non-stationary data
# ACF and PACF plots include 95% Confidence Interval bands

# statistically significant correlation

# that helps determine the number of MA terms

-Need to better transform these data:
You could look at stabilizing the variance by applying
the cube root for neg and pos values and then
difference the data
-You might compare models with different AR and MA terms
-This is a very small sample size of 24 timestamps,
so might not have enough to spare for a holdout set
To get more use out of your data for training, rolling over time
series or timestamps at a time for different holdout sets
allows for training on more timestamps; doesn't stop the model from
capturing the last chunk of timestamps stored in a single holdout set
-The data only looks at 24 hours in one day
Would we start to capture more of a trend in hourly sentiment if we
collected data over several days?
How would you go about collecting more data?
Take on the challenge and further improve this model:
You have been given a head start, now take this example
and improve on it!
To study time series further:
-Look at model diagnostics
-Using AIC to search best model parameters
-Handle any datetime data issues
-Try other modeling techniques
