MATH0221-2  Analysis of time series
Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Statistics : General, Research focus, 2nd year6
Holder(s) :  Paul Gérard
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  1 Modelling a time series using the regression method: decomposition of the series into its trend, its seasonal component and its random component (perturbation). Detection of outliers. Correlated perturbations.

2. The theory of moving averages. Kernel of a moving average. Series which are preserved by a moving average. Slutsky-Yule's effect. Usual moving averages: arithmetic, Henderson, Spencer. Moving averages preserving local polynomials, minimizing, under conditions, the variance of the random component. Smoothing capability of a moving average. Program CENSUS X11.

3. Previsions using smoothing procedures: exponential smoothing, Brown's methods, Holt&Winters methods.

4. Second order stationary process. Autocovariance and autocorrelation. Partial autocorrelation and Durbin's algorithm. Spectral density. ARMA(p,q) models, canonical representation. ARIMA and SARIMA models.
