Time Series Analysis

Name Time Series Analysis
Description

The general task

Given are time series, which are ordered sets of observations { x1, .., xn }, where xi denotes the observation at point i in time, e.g. a real-valued vector.

The goal is to predict the behaviour at point n+1 in time, which possibly may be determined by a function.

More special tasks

Given: time series

Trend: Find a characterization of the direction of change over time.
Level Change: Find points in time, from where on the overall level of observeable values will change.
Cycles: Find cycles in the sequence of changes over time.
