This course is intended to survey both time-domain and frequency domain analysis of time series. I expect you all to be familiar with the basics of the multivariate normal distribution and complex arithmetic. I will develop Fourier methods briefly where necessary.
There will be 2 two hour lectures per week.

I hope my notes together with references will be reasonably self-contained so that possession of the text Reinsel is not precisely necessary.

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 stat Unix network. If you do not have an account yet you must leave me a note with your full name and, for students from outside Statistics and Actuarial Science, your campus address. I will expect you to produce software in S; except for an introductory session in the first or second week I will expect you to learn this package on your own.
