Other tranforms
Differencing should be the first transform you try to make a time series stationary. But sometimes it isn't the best option.
A classic way of transforming stock time series is the log-return of the series. This is calculated as follows: $$log\_return ( y_t ) = log \left( \frac{y_t}{y_{t-1}} \right)$$
The Amazon stock time series has already been loaded for you as amazon. You can calculate the log-return of this DataFrame by substituting:
- \(y_t \rightarrow\)
amazon - \(y_{t-1} \rightarrow\)
amazon.shift(1) - \(log() \rightarrow\)
np.log()
In this exercise you will compare the log-return transform and the first order difference of the Amazon stock time series to find which is better for making the time series stationary.
