Prerequisites. Probability and statistical inference background

The course. Time series, {X(t)}, will be defined in a broadly. “time” may take values in Rk or be function-valued. The values of X may be in other than  Rl

Course materials will be directed towards students carrying out an analysis of pertinent scientific data using methods covered in the course (or others agreed upon with the Instructor). The resulting scientific paper prepared constitutes the final exam for the course.

The Lab.  Will cover pertinent material from the statistical package R, particularly the time series functions, and will help students realize their time series papers, for t in R.

R time series issues. (Stoffer)  www.stat.pitt.edu/stoffer/tsa2/Rissuess.htm

The grade. Will come from a combination of a Scientific Paper Proposal and an independent scientific paper.

The Proposal is due Tuesday March 29 at class and the Paper is due Monday May 9, by 3pm, under my office door, 417 Evans or in 367 Evans.

NOTE. Materials will be added, and some changes introduced, to this page as the semester progresses.
