Overview of clustering methods in R

10.01.2024

Clustering is a very popular technique in data science because of its unsupervised characteristic – we don’t need true labels of groups in data. In this blog post, I will give you a “quick” survey of various clustering methods applied to synthetic but also real datasets. What is clustering? Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grou...

Enernoc smart meter data – forecast electricity consumption with similar day approach in R

11.11.2016

Deployment of smart grids gives space to an occurrence of new methods of machine learning and data analysis. Smart grids can contain of millions of smart meters, which produce a large amount of data of electricity consumption (long time series). In addition to time series of electricity consumption, we can have extra information about the consume...

Forecast double seasonal time series with multiple linear regression in R

02.12.2016

I will continue in describing forecast methods, which are suitable to seasonal (or multi-seasonal) time series. In the previous post smart meter data of electricity consumption were introduced and a forecast method using similar day approach was proposed. ARIMA and exponential smoothing (common methods of time series analysis) were used as foreca...

Doing magic and analyzing seasonal time series with GAM (Generalized Additive Model) in R

23.01.2017

As I wrote in the previous post, I will continue in describing regression methods, which are suitable for double seasonal (or multi-seasonal) time series. In the previous post about Multiple Linear Regression, I showed how to use “simple” OLS regression method to model double seasonal time series of electricity consumption and use it for accu...

R<-Slovakia meetup started to build community in Bratislava

25.03.2017

On 22. March a first special R related meetup called R took place. As the name of the meetup group implies, it is based in Slovakia, in its capital – Bratislava. I am very happy to be the first speaker on this event ever. R has the intention to build a community to share knowledge of people who are dealing with data science, machine learning or...

Using regression trees for forecasting double-seasonal time series with trend in R

21.08.2017

After blogging break caused by writing research papers, I managed to secure time to write something new about time series forecasting. This time I want to share with you my experiences with seasonal-trend time series forecasting using simple regression trees. Classification and regression tree (or decision tree) is broadly used machine learning m...
