    1. Prepare the Data: Import necessary libraries like pandas, numpy, and matplotlib. Load your time series data into a DataFrame using pandas. Ensure the Date column is set as the index and properly formatted using pd.to_datetime.

    2. Visualize the Data: Use matplotlib or seaborn to plot the time series data. Check for trends, seasonality, and anomalies in the data.

    3. Preprocess the Data: Handle missing values by interpolation or other imputation methods. Check for stationarity using statistical tests like the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. If the data is non-stationary, apply transformations like differencing or logarithmic scaling.

    4. Split the Data: Divide the dataset into training and testing sets. For example, use data before a specific date for training and the rest for testing.

    5. Choose a Forecasting Model: Select a model based on the data characteristics: ARIMA: For non-seasonal data with trends. SARIMA: For seasonal data. Holt-Winters: For data with trends and seasonality. Prophet: For flexible trend and seasonality modeling. Machine Learning Models: For complex patterns (e.g., LSTM, Random Forest).

    6. Fit the Model: Import the chosen model from libraries like statsmodels or fbprophet. Define model parameters (e.g., order for ARIMA or seasonal_order for SARIMA). Fit the model to the training data.

    7. Generate Predictions: Use the model to forecast future values. For ARIMA/SARIMA, use the forecast() method. For Prophet, use the predict() method after fitting the model.

    8. Evaluate the Model: Compare predicted values with actual values from the test set. Use metrics like Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), or Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE).

    9. Visualize Results: Plot the observed data alongside the predicted values to assess the model's performance visually.

    10. Tune Hyperparameters: Adjust model parameters (e.g., p, d, q for ARIMA) to improve accuracy. Use techniques like grid search for systematic tuning.

    11. Deploy the Model: Save the trained model using libraries like joblib or pickle. Use the model for real-time forecasting or integrate it into applications.
