KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY OF COMPREHENSION
THIS COURSE ATTEMPTS TO GIVE AN INTRODUCTORY ACCOUNT OF TIME SERIES MODELS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO MODELLING AND PREDICTION OF DATA COLLECTED SEQUENTIALLY IN TIME. THE AIM IS TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC TECHNIQUES FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND AT THE SAME TIME TO PROVIDE SOME UNDERSTANDING OF THE THEORETICAL BASIS FOR THE INTRODUCED TECHNIQUES AND MODELS. TOPICS COVERED WILL INCLUDE UNIVARIATE STATIONARY AND NON-STATIONARY MODELS, ARMA/ARIMA MODELS, MODEL IDENTIFICATION AND ESTIMATION. DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MODELS WITHIN DATA EXAMPLES USING THE R STATISTICAL SOFTWARE WILL BE CONSIDERED.
THE AIM OF THIS COURSE IS: TO INTRODUCE THE STUDENTS TO THE MAIN DEVELOPMENTS IN TIME SERIES ANALYSIS; TO LEARN THEORETICAL, APPLIED AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR TIME SERIES ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING; TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN MODEL BUILDING.
THE STATISTICAL TOOLS INTRODUCED IN THE COURSE WILL BE PRESENTED HIGHLIGHTING SOME IMPORTANT THEORETICAL RESULTS AND THEIR POSSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION IN EMPIRICAL CONTEXTS. THE STUDENT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH TOOLS ON HOW TO SELECT AND USE THE APPROPRIATE STATISTICAL TOOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TIME SERIES, AS WELL AS ON HOW TO INTERPRET AND COMMENT ON THE RESULTS.

Teaching Methods
LECTURES (40H) AND PRACTICAL EXERCISES (20H )
Verification of learning
PROJECT WORK WITH DISCUSSION AND ORAL EXAMINATION
THIS COURSE HAS MANDATORY PROJECT WORK AS AN ESSENTIAL LEARNING ACTIVITY: STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO FIND AND ANALYSE THEIR OWN REAL TIME SERIES USING R PACKAGE THE PROJECT WORK IS DONE IN GROUPS OF 1-3 STUDENTS AND IS EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF A WRITTEN REPORT. ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE GROUP WORK IS REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT WORK TO PASS.THE INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION OF THE PROJECT WORK IS AN ELEMENT OF EVALUATION. EACH STUDENT IS GRADED INDIVIDUALLY ON THE BASIS OF THE DISCUSSION OF THE PROJECT.
THE SECOND TEST CONSISTS OF AN ORAL EXAMINATION (MANDATORY) ON THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE. STUDENTS WILL BE EVALUATED BY USING A SCALE OF 30.
