For the first time this fall graduate 4 hour courses have been reduced to 3 contact hours. We will approach this as 3 lecture hours followed by a 1 hour tutorial. I very much hope you will use that last hour as an office hour.
I will be off campus for 2 Friday meetings of this course. We will reschedule the missed meetings early in the course.
Recommended Textbook:
Box, G. E. P. , Jenkins, G. M. and Reinsel, G. (1994) Time series analysis : forecasting and control , 3rd ed. Englewood Cliffs: Prentice Hall.
I have had to change from Shumway, since that text is now out of print. I hope my notes together with references will be reasonably self-contained so that possession of Box, Jenkins and Reinsel is not precisely necessary; the text is, however, an absolutely standard reference in the field.

I will be trying to make available, on the web, some comments and additions to the lectures. I cannot yet tell how much of this will get done.
The course will be graded on the basis of assignments together with a take home final exam. You will do a good deal of computing in S using the package on the css network of Sparcs. If you do not have an account yet you must leave me a note with your full name and, for students from outside Mathematics and Statistics, your campus address. I will expect you to produce software in S; except for an introductory session next week I will expect you to learn this package on your own.
