Time series data often contains hidden seasonality patterns that can be crucial for analysis. A data scientist with an Economics background shares insights from their professional experience. Traditionally, recognizing these patterns involved visual inspection, but advanced techniques like Fourier transforms and periodograms offer a more precise approach. The Fourier transform, a mathematical tool, helps in identifying the frequency components of a time series, revealing underlying seasonal trends. This method, when applied in Python, transforms time domain data into the frequency domain, making it easier to spot periodicities. A periodogram, derived from the Fourier transform, plots the power of these frequencies, providing a visual representation of seasonality. This approach is essential for anyone dealing with time series data, enhancing the ability to model and predict future trends accurately.
