Course contents :  1. Modelisation using regression methods: decomposition into trend, seasonal component and perturbation. Detecting outlyers, forcasting.
2. Moving averages: properties and construction. Usual moving averages: arithmetic, Henderdon, Spencer,...
3. Exponential smoothing, Brown's methods, Holt&Winters methods.
4.Theory of stationary processes: stationarity, autocorrelation, partial autocorrelation, spectral analysis, ARMA, ARIMA and SARIMA processes.
Course objective :  Learning to analyse a time series using exploratory and modelling methods. Estimating its trend and seasonal components. Building and fitting ARIMA models. Making prediction. Estimating and using the power spectrum.
