Course Objective

This course provides the theoretical and application parts of time series techniques. Univariate stationary and nonstationary models will be examined in this course. These models will be handled with statistical estimation and inference background. This course will make the students gain experience in identifying systematic pattern of time series data. They should make predictions based on historical values. Students should apply the techniques which they have learned in this course for making decision any forecasts and long term plans.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To distinguish time series components and to develop the skills needed to do empirical research in fields operating with time series data sets,
2   To obtain autocovariance function of any stochastic process,
3   To identify Nonseasonal Box-Jenkins models using autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation function,
4   To test significance of parameter estimates of tentatively identified ARIMA (p,d,q) models,
5   To estimate the parameters with maximum likelihood methods, Yule-walker estimation methods and Least Square estimation methods,
6   To make decisions whether models are adequate,
7   To distinguish between nonseasonal and seasonal models,
8   Developing forecasts based on appropriate ARIMA(p,d,q)x(P,D,Q) models,
9   To make forecast using algorithm.
