Praise for the First Edition
"...[t]he book is great for readers who need to applythe methods and models presented but have little background inmathematics and statistics." -MAA Reviews
Thoroughly updated throughout, Introduction to Time SeriesAnalysis and Forecasting, Second Edition presents theunderlying theories of time series analysis that are needed toanalyze time-oriented data and construct real-world short- tomedium-term statistical forecasts.
Authored by highly-experienced academics and professionals inengineering statistics, the Second Edition featuresdiscussions on both popular and modern time series methodologies aswell as an introduction to Bayesian methods in forecasting.Introduction to Time Series Analysis and Forecasting, SecondEdition also includes:
* Over 300 exercises from diverse disciplines including healthcare, environmental studies, engineering, and finance
* More than 50 programming algorithms using JMP®, SAS®,and R that illustrate the theory and practicality of forecastingtechniques in the context of time-oriented data
* New material on frequency domain and spatial temporaldata analysis
* Expanded coverage of the variogram and spectrum withapplications as well as transfer and intervention modelfunctions
* A supplementary website featuring PowerPoint®slides, data sets, and select solutions to the problems
Introduction to Time Series Analysis and Forecasting, SecondEdition is an ideal textbook upper-undergraduate andgraduate-levels courses in forecasting and time series. The book isalso an excellent reference for practitioners and researchers whoneed to model and analyze time series data to generate forecasts.
