Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
General introduction to time series. Stationary and non-stationary models, e.g. ARMA- and ARIMA-models. Projections and prediction of time series. Spectral theory. Estimation of parameters and spectra. Models on state-space form and Kalman filtering.
Intended learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to provide a basic understanding of theoretical and practical tools for analyzing time series. Computer-aided projects form an essential learning activity.
In order to pass the course, the student shall be able to:
- solve problems that require knowledge and understanding of basic concepts and models in the theory of time series, in particular models of ARMA type,
- apply theoretical and practical tools to analyze time series data, quantify uncertainty in estimated models and predict future values based on observed data,
- apply mathematical theory to analyze and explain properties of different time series models, and
- account for conclusions from analyses of time series data and critically evaluate such analyses from a scientific perspective.
