Applied Time Series Analysis for Ecology and Environmental Sciences

3 credits · Undergraduate

In this course we will learn how to analyze time-series data using real-world examples from ecology and environmental sciences. We will study how to mathematically describe a time series, and test hypotheses about the underlying processes generating the observed patterns. We will cover univariate and multivariate state-space models, with an incursion into statistical forecasting and analyses in the frequency domain (e.g., Discrete Fast Fourier Transform).
