Time Series

"The authors should be congratulated for providing many concise and compact proofs for various technical assertions in time series. (There are many seemingly inconspicuous but intriguing technical details in time series!) The authors' strength and perhaps also their preference in frequency domain methods are well-reflected in the treatments in Chapters 6, 7 and 9, and also some parts of Chapters 10 and 11. Chapter 12 introduces several of the most popular bootstrap methods for time series, including AR-sieve bootstrap, block bootstrap and frequency domain bootstrap. In terms of the mathematical level, the book is for students with a solid mathematical background. The style of the presentation would also better suit courses offered in statistics, mathematics or engineering programmes for which spectral analysis is pertinent."

"The first eight chapters of this book mainly focus on understanding the structure of time series. From the ninth chapter onwards, they discuss statistical inference based on time series data...Since the book includes a large number of exercises, teachers of a course on time series may find this book useful. Overall, researchers working in the area of time series may also find this book a useful reference. Finally, applied researchers involved with time series data may also find this book helpful." ~ISCB News

"This new monograph by McElroy (US Census Bureau) and Politis (Univ. of California, San Diego) is a timely publication, whereas the more well-known time series monographs were published long ago (in the 1980s and 1990s).. this volume stands out as an ideal source for readers exploring time series analysis both theoretically and empirically...Some unique topics are introduced, for example, information entropy in time series, time-series-specific statistical inference, and dependent data bootstrapping. The latter represents an important recent advancement in time series analysis."
