Plot individual components

It is also possible to extract other inferred quantities from your time-series decomposition object. The following code shows you how to extract the observed, trend and noise (or residual, resid) components.

observed = decomposition.observed
trend = decomposition.trend
residuals = decomposition.resid

You can then use the extracted components and plot them individually.

The decomposition object you created in the last exercise is available in your workspace.

  • Extract the trend component from the decomposition object.
  • Plot this trend component.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Extract the trend component
trend = ____.____

# Plot the values of the trend
ax = ____.____(figsize=(12, 6), fontsize=6)

# Specify axis labels
ax.set_xlabel('Date', fontsize=10)
ax.set_title('Seasonal component the CO2 time-series', fontsize=10)
plt.show()
