<p>Here is another possible approach.</p>

<p>I still stand by <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5339/1352">my opinion</a> that any answer to "I have a dataset, please help me analyze it" will either be so vague as to be meaningless, or require a book-length treatment.</p>

<p>Happily, this does not need to be the end of the story. Because such book-length treatments exist! For instance, our <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2468/1352">How best to use the review queue?</a> thread contains boilerplate that I added as something that should be helpful for many <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/forecasting" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;forecasting&#39;" rel="tag">forecasting</a> questions:</p>

<pre><code>This question is very broad, and I believe you would profit
from reading an introductory level textbook, e.g., the free online
[*Forecasting: Principles and Practice* by
Hyndman &amp; Athanasopoulos](https://otexts.org/fpp2/).
If after reading this you still have more specific questions, then
please do ask them here. If you already *have* read such a textbook,
please edit your question to make it more specific. Thank you!

<p>So: if anyone knows of a good textbook that would be helpful for this kind of question, we could direct people there. Actually, we could use the existing <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/170/1352">Free statistical textbooks</a> thread to collect (more) books.</p>

<p>And then close questions like this one not necessarily as "too broad", but as duplicates of <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/170/1352">Free statistical textbooks</a>. Or close them as "too broad" and insert a link to that thread, e.g.:</p>

textbooks.](https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/170/1352) If
afterwards you still have more specific questions, then please do ask

your question to make it more specific. Thank you!

<p>When the question is about neural networks, we can supply a more specific set of references.</p>

<pre><code>This question is very broad, and I believe you would profit from 
reading an introductory level textbook. [We have a helpful list of 
textbooks and courses about neural networks.]

afterwards you still have more specific questions, then please do ask
them here. If you already *have* read such a textbook, please edit 
your question to make it more specific. Thank you!
