While classical statistical models such as ARIMA, state-space models, and spectral methods remain essential, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced groundbreaking approaches to modeling, forecasting, and generating time-dependent data. This eighth edition reflects these advancements with the addition of two new chapters: Predictive AI for Time Series and Generative AI for Time Series. These chapters bridge the gap between traditional time series methods and cutting-edge AI techniques, offering readers a comprehensive and integrated perspective on the field.
Features:
· Comprehensive coverage of classical time series models, including ARIMA, state-space models, and spectral methods
· Two new chapters on predictive and generative AI, introducing cutting-edge methods like transformers, variational autoencoders, and diffusion models
· Practical examples and illustrations using R, demonstrating the application of both classical and AI-based approaches to real-world time series data
· Emphasis on the integration of classical statistical rigor with the flexibility and scalability of AI methods
· Clear explanations and intuitive insights, making advanced concepts accessible to a broad audience
· Updated content reflecting the latest developments in time series analysis, with a focus on modern, high-dimensional, and nonlinear data challenges
This eighth edition is designed for students, researchers, and practitioners in statistics, as well as in finance, economics, climate science, health, and engineering. It serves as both a foundational text for those new to time series analysis and a valuable resource for experienced analysts seeking to engage with the rapidly evolving landscape of predictive and generative AI. With its balance of theory, practical implementation, and real-world examples, the book is ideal for use in academic courses, professional training, and self-study.
