You will  investigate the nature of time series data and learn the basics of ARMA models that can explain the behavior of such data.  You will learn the basic R commands needed to help set up raw time series data to a form that can be analyzed using ARMA models.

First things first

Data play

Elements of time series

Stationarity and nonstationarity

Differencing

Detrending data

Dealing with trend and heteroscedasticity

Stationary time series: ARMA

Simulating ARMA models

Time Series Data and Models

You will discover the wonderful world of ARMA models and how to fit these models to time series data. You will learn how to identify a model, how to choose the correct model, and how to verify a model once you fit it to data.  You will learn how to use R time series commands from the stats and astsa packages.

Congratulations!

Seasonal ARIMA

In this course, you will become an expert in fitting ARIMA models to time series data using R.  First, you will explore the nature of time series data using the tools in the R stats package.  Next, you learn how to fit various ARMA models to simulated data (where you will know the correct model) using the R package astsa.  Once you have mastered the basics, you will learn how to fit integrated ARMA models, or ARIMA models to various real data sets. You will learn how to check the validity of an ARIMA model and you will learn how to forecast time series data.  Finally, you will learn how to fit ARIMA models to seasonal data, including forecasting using the astsa package.
