"This book, it must be said, lives up to the words on its
advertising cover: 'Bridging the gap between introductory,
descriptive approaches and highly advanced theoretical treatises,
it provides a practical, intermediate level discussion of a variety
of forecasting tools, and explains how they relate to one another,
both in theory and practice.' It does just that!"

"A well-written work that deals with statistical methods and models
that can be used to produce short-term forecasts, this book has
wide-ranging applications. It could be used in the context of a
study of regression, forecasting, and time series analysis by PhD
students; or to support a concentration in quantitative methods for
MBA students; or as a work in applied statistics for advanced
undergraduates."
-Choice
Statistical Methods for Forecasting is a comprehensive, readable
treatment of statistical methods and models used to produce
short-term forecasts. The interconnections between the forecasting
models and methods are thoroughly explained, and the gap between
theory and practice is successfully bridged. Special topics are
discussed, such as transfer function modeling; Kalman filtering;
state space models; Bayesian fo
