Handbook of Time Series Analysis: Recent Theoretical Developments and Applications

Oversized hardcover, xviii + 496 pages. Weight 1070g. Cleanly removed title-page, blank labels inside the front board, a thick external black-marker line on upper outer page edges. Book is clean, with unmarked text and firm binding. Short creases in the upper corner of the front board. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This multi-authored handbook provides a comprehensive overview of advanced techniques for analyzing complex, real-world time series, with a particular emphasis on methods originating from nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics. The volume serves as a bridge between standard linear approaches and more sophisticated tools required for data from fields like neuroscience, physiology, and engineering. It is structured to cover key thematic areas, including spectral and wavelet methods for characterizing oscillations, various measures for detecting and quantifying synchronization between signals, and rigorous techniques for establishing causality. A significant portion is dedicated to identifying and characterizing nonlinearity and chaos in experimental data, with practical guidance on methods like state-space reconstruction and surrogate data testing. The book is an essential reference for researchers and graduate students seeking to apply robust, model-based analysis to their data.…
