The second edition of this book includes revised, updated, and additional material on the structure, theory, and application of classes of dynamic models in Bayesian time series analysis and forecasting. In addition to wide ranging updates to central material, the second edition includes many more exercises and covers new topics at the research and application frontiers of Bayesian forecastings.

Focusing on Bayesian approaches and computations using analytic and simulation-based methods for inference, Time Series: Modeling, Computation, and Inference, Second Edition integrates mainstream approaches for time series modeling with significant recent developments in methodology and applications of time series analysis. It encompasses a graduate-level account of Bayesian time series modeling, analysis and forecasting, a broad range of references to state-of-the-art approaches to univariate and multivariate time series analysis, and contacts research frontiers in multivariate time series modeling and forecasting. It presents overviews of several classes of models and related methodology for inference, statistical computation for model fitting and assessment, and forecasting. It explores the connections between time- and frequency-domain approaches and develop various models and analyses using Bayesian formulations and computation, including use of computations based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. It illustrates the models and methods with examples and case studies from a variety of fields, including signal processing, biomedicine, environmental science, and finance. Along with core models and methods, the book represents state-of-the art approaches to analysis and forecasting in challenging time series problems. It also demonstrates the growth of time series analysis into new application areas in recent years, and contacts recent and relevant modeling developments and research challenges. New in the second edition: <ul> <li>Expanded on aspects of core model theory and methodology.</li> <li>Multiple new examples and exercises.</li> <li>Detailed development of dynamic factor models.</li> <li>Updated discussion and connections with recent and current research frontiers.</li> </ul>

PETER COPE and MIKE WEST are Anglican priests who write from long careers in Industrial Mission, the largest single outreach programme of the churches in the second half of the twentieth century. Industrial chaplains went into workplaces and engaged in conversations about whatever was important to workers. The book describes the theology and methods they developed, theologies which stress that God is active in the world and might be experienced without complex religious language. Twenty-first century churches have much to learn from the insights of this contextualised and incarnational mission as they seek to respond to the Kingdom of God in the world.

History

Grosvenor House Publishing Limited

The principles, models and methods of Bayesian forecasting have been developed extensively during the last twenty years. Much progress has been made with mathematical and statistical aspects of forecasting models and related techniques, and experience has been gained through application in a variety of areas in commercial and industrial, scientific and socio-economic fields. Indeed much of the technical development has been driven by the needs of forecasting practitioners. There now exists a relatively complete statistical and mathematical framework that is described and illustrated here for the first time in book form, presenting our view of this approach to modelling and forecasting. The book provides a self-contained text for advanced university students and research workers in business, economic and scientific disciplines, and forecasting practitioners. The material covers mathematical and statistical features of Bayesian analyses of dynamic models, with illustrations, examples and exercises in each chapter. In order that the ideas and techniques of Bayesian forecasting be accessible to students, research workers and practitioners alike, the book includes a number of examples and case studies involving real data, generously illustrated using computer generated graphs. These examples provide issues of modelling, data analysis and forecasting.
