Course Objective

The course will provide a basic introduction to modern time series analysis. The main aim of the course is to develop the skills necessary to conduct empirical research in the main areas subject to time series data. Within the scope of the course, the latest developments in time series analysis will be followed and ongoing research areas will be presented. Students will be able to apply the approaches they learn in this course for forecasting and long-term planning. During the course, the R-Project will be used for investigating time series data structure, modeling, visualization and analysis of time series data.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To learn characteristics of time series data
2   To learn stationary and non-stationary time series models
3   To be able to use autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions
4   To be able to model time series (description, parameter estimation and model selection)
5   To be able to model seasonal time series (description, parameter estimation and model selection)
6   Testing the significance and adequacy of the time series model
7   To be able to forecast using the adequate time series model
