Learning unit contents
The aim of time series analysis is to study variables over time. Time series data are utilized in fields such as astronomy, meteorology, econometrics, and financial mathematics. Various types of data analysis methods are available for time series, each suited to different purposes.
General exploration
- Graphical examination of data series
- Autocorrelation analysis
- Spectral analysis
- Separation into components representing trend, seasonality, slow and fast variation
- Simple properties of marginal distribution
- Fully formed statistical models for stochastic simulation purposes.
- Simple or fully formed statistical models to describe the likely outcome of the time series.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of the course is to provide the tools that are necessary to perform basic time series analysis.
The student should be able to solve autonomously typical problems of the time series analysis.
