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.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • OVN1 - Assignments, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TENA - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
