Vector Autoregression (VAR) Model | Multivariate Time Series Forecasting in Python
Vector Autoregression (VAR) Model | Multivariate Time Series Forecasting in Python
In this video, we build a complete Vector Autoregression (VAR) time series forecasting model in Python using Statsmodels.
Unlike univariate models like AR, a VAR model allows us to model and forecast multiple time-dependent variables together, capturing how they influence each other over time.
Starting from raw multivariate data, we go step by step through data preparation, stationarity testing, lag selection, model training, forecasting, evaluation, and residual diagnostics — exactly how VAR models are implemented in real-world projects.
We use a realistic multivariate dataset (such as sales, demand, or economic indicators) to clearly explain how VAR models work and when you should use them.
This video is perfect for beginners, students, data analysts, and working professionals who want to master multivariate time series forecasting.
