PART I
What is a time series graph
WHAT IS A TIME
SERIES GRAPH
A time series graph is a line
graph that shows data such as
measurements, sales or
frequencies over a given time
period.
PART II
When to Use a Time Series Graph
When to Use a Time
Series Graph?
You should use a time series graph when:
You want to analyze data collected over
time, such as daily, monthly, or yearly
data.
You need to track trends or patterns in
the behavior of a variable.
You want to forecast future values based
on past data. Common examples include
stock prices, sales figures, temperature
changes, and website traffic.
PART III
How to Use a Time Series
Graph
To effectively use a time series graph:

HOW TO USE A Plot the time intervals (e.g., days, months,


years) on the x-axis.

TIME SERIES
Plot the values of the variable being observed
on the y-axis.
Connect the data points to visualize trends or

GRAPH? patterns over time. The graph can reveal if the


data is increasing, decreasing, seasonal, or
following a cyclic pattern.
PART IV
How to Create a Time Series Graph
TO CREATE A TIME
SERIES GRAPH:
HOW TO CREATE Collect your data with consistent time
intervals.
A TIME SERIES Choose graphing software (Excel,
Google Sheets, Python, etc.).
Plot time intervals on the x-axis and
GRAPH your data values on the y-axis.
Use a line chart to connect data points
in chronological order. For more
detailed analysis, you can add markers,
trendlines, or moving averages.
PART V
How to Use a Time Series
Graph
How to Interpret a
Time Series Graph
To interpret a time series graph:

Look for trends (upward or


downward) to see how the data
evolves over time.
Identify any seasonal patterns or
cycles.
Check for anomalies or outliers that
deviate from the regular pattern.
Use the graph to make predictions or
identify turning points in the data.
