Publisher's Synopsis
This book will provide both the conceptual development and practical motivation students need to effectively implement forecasts of their own. It clearly demonstrates the necessity of using forecasts to make intelligent decisions in marketing, finance, personnel management, production scheduling, process control, and strategic management. The most vigorous development in econometrics in recent years had undoubtedly been the unit-root field, including error correction and co-integration. The book will make the readers acquainted with the fundamentals of algebra of linear vector spaces, standard time-series analysis of stationary process including the linear prediction theory, and standard asymptotic theory of inference used in econometric theory. The new econometrics differs from the old even at the level of a simple regression model in its theoretical aspects, if not in most computations. This book deals with fundamentals of time series, forecasting and regression, and the students and teachers of econometrics will be benefited from this reference book. -
