ASK HN: Predicting Time Series Data

4 pointsby redlionover 3 years ago
I want to forecast traffic on my website (i work for a large company with thousands of hours spent on our website hourly across the USA). I am researching how to visualize and predict this time series at the hourly level. Any ideas here on modeling the time spent on the website on a city level? I have lots of historical data ~2 years

We have that as an application on our platform. We did that because we use it often and we&#x27;ve included it as a plug-in. We made it addressable by API because sometimes we hook it to a Grafana dashboard and use it in other systems, but you can also upload a file (CSV, spreadsheet) and get predictions and graphs.<p>Feel free to contact me.

Sounds similar to problems predicting hourly call volume. Statistics research might give you examples, also operations management research
