Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)

A thorough understanding of the mathematical aspects linear time series methods and their manipulation with R software.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The theoretical course rests on slides accompanied by an oral presentation. Exercise sheets are provided, along with detailed corrections (both for the mathematical developments as well as the R solutions). You are expected to solve the exercises by yourselves; office hours will be organised (on a scheduled basis) for you to ask your questions. 

All information will be provided via the UV and Teams and all other appropriate communication channels.
