The fourth edition of this popular graduate textbook, like its predecessors, presents a balanced and comprehensive treatment of both time and frequency domain methods with accompanying theory. Numerous examples using nontrivial data illustrate solutions to problems such as discovering natural and anthropogenic climate change, evaluating pain perception experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging, and monitoring a nuclear test ban treaty. The book is designed as a textbook for graduate level students in the physical, biological, and social sciences and as a graduate level text in statistics. Some parts may also serve as an undergraduate introductory course. Theory and methodology are separated to allow presentations on different levels. In addition to coverage of classical methods of time series regression, ARIMA models, spectral analysis and state-space models, the text includes modern developments including categorical time series analysis, multivariate spectral methods, long memory series, nonlinear models, resampling techniques, GARCH models, ARMAX models, stochastic volatility, wavelets, and Markov chain Monte Carlo integration methods.

This edition includes R code for each numerical example in addition to Appendix R, which provides a reference for the data sets and R scripts used in the text in addition to a tutorial on basic R commands and R time series. An additional file is available on the book’s website for download, making all the data sets and scripts easy to load into R. Shumway, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of California, Davis. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and a member of the International Statistical Institute. He won the 1986 American Statistical Association Award for Outstanding Statistical Application and the 1992 Communicable Diseases Center Statistics Award; both awards were for joint papers on time series applications. He is also the author of a Prentice-Hall text on applied time series analysis and served as a Departmental Editor for the Journal of Forecasting and Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Statistical Association.

Stoffer, PhD, is Professor of Statistics at the University of Pittsburgh. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and has made seminal contributions to the analysis of categorical time series.

This third edition contains detailed instructions for the use of the professional version of the Windows-based computer package ITSM2000, now available as a free download from the Springer Extras website. The logic and tools of time series model-building are developed in detail. Part IV Topics in time series econometrics 215. 16.1 Forecasting with regression models 262. For students in MBA programs and for researchers in business.

David won the 1989 American Statistical Association Award for Outstanding Statistical Application in a joint paper analyzing categorical time series arising in infant sleep-state cycling. He is currently a Departmental Editor of the Journal of Forecasting and an Associate Editor of the Annals of Statistical Mathematics. He has served as Program Director in the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation and as Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Statistical Association. “The authors have to be congratulated for their ability to describe in a book of less than 600 pages such a variety of topics and methods, together with scripts allowing the reproduction of the results, for so many real examples. It is a valuable contribution with a strong statistical orientation and a carefully designed pleasant typography.” (Anna Bartkowiak, ISCB News, iscb.info, Issue 65, June, 2018) “The chapters are nicely structured, well presented and motivated. It provides sufficient exercise questions making it easier for adoption as a graduate textbook. The book will be equally attractive to graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in the respective fields.
