Talk:Trend estimation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

can anybody contribute some standart textbook about time series analysis and trend estimation?

Just moving the following suggestion off of the main page and onto the talk page [The "Real data is autocorrelated" section in need of expansion: examples.] Tristanreid 22:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trend Analysis merger

Don't Merge. 13-September-2006: The term "trend analysis" is a broader issue, of which trend estimation is a procedure in statistical mathematics. Keep "trend analysis" as a separate article, to expand with information from other fields of study, beyond statistical methods. Compare gHits (Google hits) of the terms: "trend analysis" hits 2,940,000, while old "trend estimation" hits 71,300 = 41 times more webpages on "trend analysis" with no Wikipedia copycat webpages, yet; meanwhile, "trend estimation" has enough detail to warrant the separate article be kept: the 2 terms are not synonymous. -Wikid77 08:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
