11.12.18 Eksamen 15-19 på Sluppenvegen 14: SL238 (1), SL120 (2), SL110 hvit sone (32)

09.12.18: There seem to be differences in the definitions used for the term "stationary process" (TMA4245 in year 2013 for example). We follow our textbook and have two notions: (A) Strictly stationary (Remark 1 after Def 1.4.2) and (B) Weakly stationary (Def 1.4.2). It is standard, as also described well on Wikipedia, to use the term 'stationary' to mean 'strictly stationary', but our textbook uses 'stationary' to mean 'weakly stationary'. This is unfortunate, but logical since the book almost exclusively deals with weakly stationary processes.

26.11.18: FINAL Consultance time: Monday 03.12.2018 0915-11 Room 1138, Sentralbygg 2, Gløshaugen

13.11.18: A quotation found by Google on "statistical learning from time series" : More specifically, the data I called “stock index”, was actually modeled using a random walk process. As the name indicates, a random walk is a completely stochastic process. Due to this, the idea of using historical data as a training set in order to learn the behavior and predict future outcomes is simply not possible. What is your opinion on this?

02.11.18: Dear student. Voice your opinion about the quality of your study program!

19.10.18: Exercise 8 is now posted below.

25.09.18: Notes from the first reference group meeting are found below. Links to the 2016 edition of the course textbook + more links have been added. In general it is an advantage to try to study the textbook before the lectures.

19.09.18: All future exercise classes will be in Nullrommet. If you do not have access to this room, send an email to Maria with full name and the number on your student card (bottom left number). If you do not have a user account for the computers and would like one, send an email to Maria with your full name and user name.

17.09.18: The next exercise class (19.09) will be in the computer lab Nullrommet (room number 380A) at the mathematics department. This is located on the 3rd floor in Central building 2, nordre lavblokk. There are computers there, but if you dont have a user account, please bring your own laptop. If you want a user account, please send an email to Maria. Here, you can find more information about the computer labs: ComputerLabs

11.09.18: If anyone work alone on the first project, but would like to work together with someone, or if anyone has room in their group for one more person, please contact Maria.

07.09.18: Exercise 3 . Each group will get a unique data set. Please send an email to Maria (maria.selle@ntnu.no) to obtain the data set.

31.08.18: Exercise 3 is mandatory and counts for 10% in the grading. It will be announced at Friday September 7th and the deadline for submission is Sunday September 23th (23:59). There will be no lectures in week 37. The time should be used for necessary self-study for exercise 3 which will be analysis of a data set from an ARMA process.

24.08.18: The exercise in week 36 has been moved to Friday 7. sep, 10.15-12.00 in room R60.

21.08.18: The lecture on Tuesday August 28th is cancelled.

20.08.18: Maria is away 3.-5. sep. Exercise that week will be moved to Thursday 6.sep or Friday 7.sep before noon. New time will be decided in the lecture.

10.08.18: Welcome to the course TMA4285 Time Series Models Fall 2018. The first lecture will take place in F4 Monday August 20. If any non-Scandinavian speaking students want to follow the lectures in this course, the lectures will be given in English.
