This chapter summarizes the fundamental concepts and tools for analyzing time series data. Time series analysis is a branch of applied mathematics developed mostly in the fields of signal processing and statistics. Contributions to this field, from an astronomical perspective, have predominantly focused on unevenly sampled data, low signal-to-noise data, and heteroscedastic errors. The chapter starts with a brief introduction to the main concepts in time series analysis. It then discusses the main tools from the modeling toolkit for time series analysis. Despite being set in the context of time series, many tools and results are readily applicable in other domains, and for this reason the examples presented will not be strictly limited to time-domain data. Armed with the modeling toolkit, the chapter goes on to discuss the analysis of periodic time series, search for temporally localized signals, and concludes with a brief discussion of stochastic processes.Less

Narrates the process of how estimation was formalized. Estimation can be seen as the genesis of econometrics, since finding estimates for coefficients of economically meaningful relationships has always been the central motive and fulfilment of applied modelling activities. The process therefore became separated out as one of the basic steps along with model construction, identification, and testing. Subsequent research activities in estimation were confined to technical development of new optimal estimators for increasingly complicated model forms. The first section of the chapter describes the early developments in estimation methods centring around the least squares (LS) principle; how this led to the maximum‐likelihood (ML) method in a simultaneous‐equations system is the content of the second section; the third section turns to look at special problems in the context of time‐series analysis; other developments concerning errors‐in‐variables models are summed up in the fourth section; and the final completion of basic estimation theory in orthodox econometrics takes up the final section.Less

A substantial part of Sri Lanka's achievements in certain areas of basic needs provision such as health and education standards, has been due to the country's intrinsic and directed public policies. This chapter's econometric analysis, based on time series data, reconfirms that income growth alone would not have achieved that enviable basic needs record — the role of direct intervention has been significant. The expansion of health services has been more effective than food subsidies in mortality decline. There is a need to shift the focus from scrutinizing the effectiveness of intervention to looking at the best patterns and combinations of social welfare expenditure that can achieve the maximum impact on basic needs.Less

Chapter Six explains time series analysis with one or more independent variables. The dependent variable is the monthly violent crime rates and the independent variables are unemployment rates and inflation. This chapter discusses several topics related to the robustness of estimated models, such as how to prewhiten a time series, how to deal with trends and seasonal components, how to deal with autoregressive residuals, and how to discern changes of the dependent variable caused by independent variables from its simple continuity. This chapter also discusses the concepts of co-integration and long-memory effect and related topics such as error correction models and autoregressive distributive lags models.Less

The chapter describes and analyses the underlying data in Gallman’s Volume 30 annual national product series. These are our best estimates of nineteenth-century US GNP, NNP, and capital formation and underlie much of what we know about America’s economic growth. The series break down national product, measures in current and constant prices, in consumptions and investment components. The chapter discusses the limitations of the Volume 30 series and why Gallman considered his estimates suitable for long-run investigations but not for time-series analysis as annual series.Less

This book focuses on fundamental elements of time series analysis that social scientists need to understand to employ time series analysis for their research and practice. Avoiding extraordinary mathematical materials, this book explains univariate time-series analysis step by step from the preliminary visual analysis through the modeling of seasonality, trends, and residuals to the prediction and the evaluation of estimated models. Then, this book explains smoothing, multiple time-series analysis, and interrupted time-series analysis. At the end of each step, this book coherently provides an analysis of the monthly violent crime rates as an example.Less

This chapter shows how structural time series models can be put into state space form. It puts Box-Jenkins ARIMA models into state space form, thus demonstrating that these models are special cases of state space models. It discusses the history of exponential smoothing and shows how it relates to simple forms of state space and ARIMA models. It considers various aspects of regression with or without time-varying coefficients or autocorrelated errors. It also presents a treatment of dynamic factor analysis. Further topics discussed include simultaneous modelling series from different sources, benchmarking, continuous time models, and spline smoothing in discrete and continuous time.Less

This chapter examines whether the conclusion of BITs does indeed contribute to an increase in FDI. Time-series data analysis based on bilateral FDI flows between the BIT signatory countries shows that the influence of BITs on FDI is weak, especially in redirecting the share of FDI flowing from or to BIT signatory countries. In other words, following the signing of a BIT, it is more likely than not that the host country will marginally increase its share in the outward FDI of the home country; the same applies to the share of the home country in the FDI inflows of the host country. The effect, however, is usually small. In the cross-country comparison of FDI determinants, the overall conclusion is that BITs appear to play a minor and secondary role in influencing FDI flows.Less

This chapter provides the first extensive empirical assessment of the theory of relative advantage. A panel Granger analysis based on nearly five decades of state-level data demonstrates that black mobilization influenced Republican growth in each of the Southern states. The chapter also includes results from time series cross-sectional analyses that clearly indicate that black mobilization played a more important role in the growth of Southern Republicanism than regional economic growth, black context, in-migration, or the growth of evangelicalism—all of which are competing explanations for GOP growth in the South. The analysis also demonstrates that the growing viability of Republican substate party organizations played a role in subsequent Republican growth in the electorate.Less

The definition of ‘long-term’ requires reference to the generation time and the scale over which environmental variation of interest operates. A long-term (large temporal scale) population study of an annually reproducing insect would be expected to include annual population estimates over at least ten years. An equivalent study of an amoeba, which can reproduce daily, might be completed in a few weeks. However, if the focus of a long-term study is the role of seasonal variation in determining population number, then it is likely that a study will need at least twenty-five years of data, irrespective of the size of the organism and the generation time. This chapter reviews a range of time series analytical techniques and presents R code listings for measuring synchrony and species associations, detecting break-points in time series and measuring community stability. Statistical methods to assess if a species has gone extinct are described. Techniques for detecting density dependence in time series are reviewed. Temporal β-diversity is defined as the shift in the identities and/or the abundances of named taxa in a specified assemblage over two or more time points. The measurement of temporal β-diversity is discussed. Numerous R code listings are presented.Less

Volvo cars exposure have been measured for this chapter by means of time series regression analysis. The required data include quarterly actual cash flow figures for a substantial number of years, macroeconomic data, as well as proxies for industry- or firm-specific conditions. Issues of implementation are emphasized here and the interpretation of coefficients is discussed from the perspective of risk management. The coefficients for commercial cash flow exposures can easily be translated into financial positions that would provide hedges against macroeconomic exposures. The coefficients can also be helpful in decisions with respect to pricing strategy that affect exposures. Finally, the use of the coefficients for ex post analysis of what hedging has achieved and for performance filtering is illustrated.Less

This chapter discusses examples which show how the use of the linear model works in practice. The first example is an analysis of road accident data to estimate the reduction in car drivers killed and seriously injured in the UK due to the introduction of a seat belt law. The second example considers a bivariate model which includes data on numbers of front seat passengers killed and seriously injured and on numbers of rear seat passengers killed and seriously injured. The third example shows how state space methods can be applied to Box-Jenkins ARMA models employed to model series of users logged onto the Internet. The fourth example considers the state space solution to the spline smoothing of motorcycle acceleration data. The fifth example provides a dynamic factor analysis based on the linear Gaussian model for the term structure of interest rates paid on US Treasury securities.Less

The first example is an analysis of road accident data to estimate the reduction in car drivers killed and seriously injured in the UK due to the introduction of a seat belt law. The second example considers a bivariate model which includes data on numbers of front seat passengers killed and seriously injured and on numbers of rear seat passengers killed and seriously injured. The third example shows how state space methods can be applied to Box-Jenkins ARMA models employed to model series of users logged onto the Internet. The fourth example considers the state space solution to the spline smoothing of motorcycle acceleration data. The fifth example provides a dynamic factor analysis based on the linear Gaussian model for the term structure of interest rates paid on US Treasury securities.

This section covers the final section of the machine learning life cycle. Consider these the most important steps of the entire process. This is the point at which we have the greatest potential to help our organization reap the benefits of machine learning. In traditional information systems development, 60–80% of the cost of a system comes during the maintenance phase, so these steps are important. This section covers how to deploy a machine learning model, as well as documenting and maintaining this model. A chapter covers the seven types of target leakage followed by time-aware validation and time-series analysis.Less

This chapter comprehensively outlines a vast amount of historical data on the giant panda and on Ailurus with a view to producing a consensus on their phylogenetic affinities. It reports that supertree analysis suggests affinities with the Procyonidae. The chapter surveys the systematic literature from the description of Ailuropoda by David to the present in order to explore the affinities of both panda species through time. It also uses a sliding-window approach to time-series analysis in order to view changes in phylogenetic opinion over time. All statements of phylogenetic affinity strongly place Ailuropoda and Ailurus within separate carnivore families. The chapter refrains from making any taxonomic conclusions, even for Ailuropoda, for which the phylogenetic position seems reasonably secure. The taxonomic assessments are subjective and can frequently obscure or even misrepresent phylogenetic information. Moreover, a brief report on pylogenetic placement of the giant panda based on molecular data is presented.Less
