| Description |
This course provides an introduction to univariate time series analysis. The first part of the course introduces the core models, i.e. MA(p), AR(q) and ARMA(q,p). Basic time series concepts like stationarity and invertibility are defined and analysed, as well as the autocovariance function. The second part of the course is devoted to some complementary topics, such as forecasting, order selection for an ARMA(q,p) model, and unit-root testing. Finally, spectral analysis is tackled. Every second week, an exercise session takes place. During this session, exercises are presented and solved by the assistant.
Readings: the main textbook for this course is: Brockwell, P. J., Davis, R. A., & Calder, M. V. (2002). Introduction to time series and forecasting (Vol.
