Content

A time series is a set of data $\{ x_t \}$ in which the subscript $t$
indicates the time at which the datum $x_t$ was observed. The course
provides an introduction to the theory and practice of statistical
time series analysis. Topics covered include stationary and
non-stationary stochastic processes, autoregressive and moving average
(ARMA) models, state-space models and Kalman filter, model selection
and estimation, forecasting and forecast assessment, and an outline
of spectral techniques.

Statistical Software for Time Series Data

The problem sets will frequently require the use of a suitable
statistical programming language. Any code discussed in class
meetings will be written in the R language, and you are encouraged to
use R, or your standard language if it is suitable.

ILIAS Course

Course Material and important information can be found in the ILIAS course of the lecture.

Examination

There will be oral examinations towards the end of the semester. All further details can be found in the ILIAS course of the lecture.
