NetCourse 461 Introduction to Univariate Time Series Using Stata
The course will appeal to a broad range of users, including economists, forecasters, business analysts, and anyone who encounters time-series data.

The course is organized like our other NetCourses. There will be a lecture posted to the course web site each Friday, along with a set of questions that review the material. Answers to the questions will be posted a week later. Students will also have access to a discussion board where they can post questions and interact with the course leader and other students.

The course consists of five lectures and covers topics such as using time-series data in Stata, moving averages and exponential smoothers, ARMA processes, the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions, ARIMA and ARMAX models, regression analysis, unit roots, and ARCH models. The optional fifth lecture introduces Stata's multivariate time-series features.
