Time series refers to a sequence of observations following each other in time, where adjacent observations are correlated. This can be used to model, simulate, and forecast behavior for a system. Time series models are frequently used in fields such as economics, finance, biology, and engineering.  The Wolfram Language provides a full suite of time series functionality, including standard models such as MA, AR, and ARMA, as well as several extensions. Time series models can be simulated, estimated from data, and used to produce forecasts of future behavior.

TimeSeriesModelFit — automatically fit a time series process model to data

Basic ARMA Processes

MAProcess — moving-average process (scalar and vector)

ARProcess — autoregressive process (scalar and vector)

ARMAProcess — autoregressive moving-average process (scalar and vector)

Integrated and Seasonal ARMA Processes

SARIMAProcess — seasonal integrating ARMA for polynomial and periodic trends

GARCH Processes

ARCHProcess — autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic process

GARCHProcess — generalized ARCH process
