Regression with Time Series Data Week 10 Main features of Time series Data Observations have temporal ordering Variables may have serial correlation‚ trends and seasonality Time series data are not a random sample because the observations in time series are collected from the same objects at different points in time For time series data‚ because MLR2 does not hold‚ the inference tools are valid under a set of strong assumptions (TS1-6) for finite samples While TS3-6 are often too restrictive

TIME SERIES MODELS Time series analysis provides tools for selecting a model that can be used to forecast of future events. Time series models are based on the assumption that all information needed to generate a forecast is contained in the time series of data. The forecaster looks for patterns in the data and tries to obtain a forecast by projecting that pattern into the future. A forecasting method is a (numerical) procedure for generating a forecast. When such methods are not based upon

Daylight-saving time (DST) has been a controversial issue ever since it has first been observed. I believe DST is a useful and effective idea‚ and I would recommend continued use of it. In fact‚ I believe it should be observed year-round‚ which means America’s standard time would be moved back one hour. Many people make arguments that DST saves energy‚ and there are studies to support it. (Sources B & C) But an equal amount of people make the argument that it doesn’t save energy at all‚ and
