With a focus on analyzing and modeling linear dynamic systems using statistical methods, Time Series Analysis formulates various linear models, discusses their theoretical characteristics, and explores the connections among stochastic dynamic models. Emphasizing the time domain description, the author presents theorems to highlight the most important results, proofs to clarify some results, and problems to illustrate the use of the results for modeling real-life phenomena.
The book first provides the formulas and methods needed to adapt a second-order approach for characterizing random variables as well as introduces regression methods and models, including the general linear model. It subsequently covers linear dynamic deterministic systems, stochastic processes, time domain methods where the autocorrelation function is key to identification, spectral analysis, transfer-function models, and the multivariate linear process. The text also describes state space models and recursive and adaptivemethods. The final chapter examines a host of practical problems, including the predictions of wind power production and the consumption of medicine, a scheduling system for oil delivery, and the adaptive modeling of interest rates.
Concentrating on the linear aspect of this subject, Time Series Analysis provides an accessible yet thorough introduction to the methods for modeling linear stochastic systems. It will help you understand the relationship between linear dynamic systems and linear stochastic processes.
"In this book the author gives a detailed account of estimation, identification methodologies for univariate and multivariate stationary time-series models. The interesting aspect of this introductory book is that it contains several real data sets and the author made an effort to explain and motivate the methodology with real data. … this introductory book will be interesting and useful not only to undergraduate students in the UK universities but also to statisticians who are keen to learn time-series techniques and keen to apply them. I have no hesitation in recommending the book."

"The book material is invaluable and presented with clarity … it is strongly recommended to libraries and all who are interested in time series analysis."
—Hassan S. Bakouch, Tanta University, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society
"Although the book is simply called Time Series Analysis, it is really a time series text for engineers—and that is a good thing … I see this text as a marble cake, mixing time series analysis and engineering in harmony, frosted with applications, and ready for students to gobble up."
—Joshua D. Kerr, California State University–East Bay, Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2009, Vol. 104, No. 486
"It is a very important and useful book which can be seen as a text for graduates in engineering or science departments, but also for statisticians who want to understand the link between models and methods for linear dynamical systems and linear stochastic processes."
