Univariate Tests for Time Series Models (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)

Taking a sequential approach to time-series model building, this book explores how to test for stationarity, normality, independence, linearity, model order, and properties of the residual process. The authors clearly define each testing procedure and offer examples to illustrate each concept. The authors also provide advice on how to perform the tests using different software packages. "This provides a nice roadmap for those doing time series analysis, and the authors should be applauded for this... Their approach is straightforward and logical and I believe will be useful many practicing statisticians." --Technometrics

He applied this decomposed measure when studying the wages inequalities in the Languedoc-Roussillon region (see the bibliography). He did it in collaboration with Françoise Seyte (Associate Professor) and Stéphane Mussard (Assistant Professor).
