Periodic series<br />

Example 8 Let {ε t } be white noise with unit variance, and define<br />

( ) 2πt<br />

Y t = cos + 5ε t , t = 1,... ,500.<br />

This is a periodic signal obscured by noise. Compute its mean and autocorrelation function.<br />

Summary<br />

Today we<br />

□ saw some examples of time series<br />

□ introduced some basic ideas:<br />

– use of stochastic process as model for time series<br />

– mean, covariance and correlation functions<br />

– stationary and strictly stationary series<br />

– white noise<br />

– simple examples: moving average, random walk, autoregression, periodic series<br />

Next week:<br />

□ simple approaches to removing systematic variation (trend and seasonality)<br />
