62.56.97.111 (talk) 23:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC) Does need examples towards the beginning of the article

what is time series data and give examples

// Changed the one section to Applied Time Series, which is IMO better than "Industry" // Added Multiscale to the introduction to reflect recent developments // THIS IS NOT part of economics, Time Series is STATISTICS. Econometrics is the topic that should be "part" of economics, the two are linked but SEPERATE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.9.240 (talk) 11:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free software

Nearly all the links to software are for pay-for stuff - could not some links to free software be included also? I am not an expert on relevant software myself.

What does the alpha term mean in the time series, and what is the significance of Y? Is it the sum of all of the terms? Why would you want to do that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.85.47.12 (talk) 19:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


Will do —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.30.156.106 (talk) 18:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion - Contrast Time Series with it's alternative(if there is one) for clarity.

Is there an alternative representation of data other than Time series? Frequency Series maybe? If someone could mention an alternative and contrast it in the introduction it would greatly clarify what Time-series are, besides being a fancy name for a bunch of data points with time as one of the dimensions.Krymson (talk) 23:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Have added something on problems that are not "time series". Melcombe (talk) 14:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] External Link DonQuixote

I have added a link to the home page of DonQuixote time series software. It is one of the few free time series software available. It is probably the only free software which includes free GPL source code in C++. It is a quite extensive package with more tha 100000 lines of C++ source code. The linked web site does not include anything else than the homepage of the free time series software. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truswalu (talk • contribs) 14:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
