Time Series Analysis and Its Applications - (Springer Texts in Statistics) 5th Edition by Robert H Shumway & David S Stoffer (Hardcover)

From the Back Cover

This 5th edition of this popular graduate textbook presents a balanced and comprehensive treatment of both time and frequency domain methods with accompanying theory. It includes numerous examples using nontrivial data illustrate solutions to problems such as discovering natural and anthropogenic climate change, evaluating pain perception experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging, and monitoring a nuclear test ban treaty. The R package 'astsa' has had major updates and the text will reflect those updates. In general, the graphics have been improved. New topics include random number generation, modeling and fitting predator-prey interactions, more emphasis on structural models, testing for linearity, discussion of EM algorithm is more extensive, Bayesian analysis of state space models and MCMC is more extensive (including new scripts in astsa), particle methods are introduced, stochastic volatility coverage is expanded, changepoint detection is introduced (new topic).

The book is designed as a textbook for graduate level students in the physical, biological, and social sciences and as a graduate level text in statistics. Some parts may also serve as an undergraduate introductory course. Theory and methodology are separated to allow presentations on different levels. In addition to coverage of classical methods of time series regression, ARIMA models, spectral analysis and state-space models, the text includes modern developments including categorical time series analysis, multivariate spectral methods, long memory series, nonlinear models, resampling techniques, GARCH models, ARMAX models, stochastic volatility, and Markov chain Monte Carlo integration methods.

This edition includes R code for each numerical example.

Robert H. Shumway is Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of California, Davis. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and a member of the International Statistical Institute. He won the 1986 American Statistical Association Award for Outstanding Statistical Application and the 1992 Communicable Diseases Center Statistics Award; both awards were for joint papers on time series applications. He is also the author of a Prentice-Hall text on applied time series analysis and served as a Departmental Editor for the Journal of Forecasting and Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Statistical Association.

David S. Stoffer is Professor of Statistics at the University of Pittsburgh. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and has made seminal contributions to the analysis of categorical time series. David won the 1989 American Statistical Association Award for Outstanding Statistical Application in a joint paper analyzing categorical time series arising in infant sleep-state cycling. He is currently a Departmental Editor of the Journal of Forecasting and an Associate Editor of the Annals of Statistical Mathematics. He has served as Program Director in the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation and as Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Statistical Association.
