Scenario
A CSV file contains daily temperature readings over multiple years. You need to decompose this time-series data to analyze its underlying patterns.
Task
Write a Python script at /home/interview/decompose_timeseries.py using statsmodels that reads /home/interview/temperature_data.csv, decomposes the temperature time-series into trend, seasonal, and residual components using additive decomposition, and saves each component to separate CSV files: /home/interview/trend.csv, /home/interview/seasonal.csv, and /home/interview/residual.csv.
Note: The statsmodels module is already installed.
Example
Input (temperature_data.csv):
date,temperature
2023-01-01,8.5
2023-01-02,9.2
...
Expected outputs:
trend.csv- Long-term trend componentseasonal.csv- Repeating seasonal patternresidual.csv- Random fluctuations
