Course Objective

The principal objective of the course is to give fundamental knowledge of serially dependent observations, mathematical models for such data as well as introduction and use of tools to identify and estimate such models. The course will cover time series decomposition, smoothing techniques, linear time series models; stationary ARMA and multiplicative SARMA classes, non-stationary ARIMA and multiplicative SARIMA classes. The students will have the knowledge in identifying systematic pattern of time series data and also they can apply the techniques which they have learned in this course for forecasting and long term plans. The students will use R, Minitab, SPSS statistical packages for computation, visualization, and analysis of time series data.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To learn the concept of time series or serially correlated observations.
2   To learn how to define and decompose time series components
3   To learn smoothing techniques for times series data
4   To be able to estimate mean, variance, correlation and partial correlation functions of a time series as a realization of stochastic process
5   To identify stationary ARMA and multiplicative SARMA classes, non-stationary ARIMA and multiplicative SARIMA classes
6   To test significance and adequacy of the time series model
7   To be able to forecast using the adequate time series model through Box-Jenkins methodology
