The main subject of this book is the estimation and forecasting of continuous time processes. It leads to a development of the theory of linear processes in function spaces. Mathematical tools are presented, as well as autoregressive processes in Hilbert and Banach spaces and general linear processes and statistical prediction. Implementation and numerical applications are also covered. The book assumes knowledge of classical probability theory and statistics.

Recently new developments have taken place in the theory of nonpara metric statistics for stochastic processes. Optimal asymptotic results have been obtained and special behaviour of estimators and predictors in con tinuous time has been pointed out. This book is devoted to these questions. It also gives some indica tions about implementation of nonparametric methods and comparison with parametric ones, including numerical results. Ma.ny of the results presented here are new and have not yet been published, expecially those in Chapters IV, V and VI. Apart from some improvements and...

This book offers a predominantly theoretical coverage of statistical prediction, with some potential applications discussed, when data and/ or parameters belong to a large or infinite dimensional space. It develops the theory of statistical prediction, non-parametric estimation by adaptive projection - with applications to tests of fit and prediction, and theory of linear processes in function spaces with applications to prediction of continuous time processes.

This text is an Elementary Introduction to Stochastic Processes in discrete and continuous time with an initiation of the statistical inference. The material is standard and classical for a first course in Stochastic Processes at the senior/graduate level (lessons 1-12). To provide students with a view of statistics of stochastic processes, three lessons (13-15) were added. These lessons can be either optional or serve as an introduction to statistical inference with dependent observations. Several points of this text need to be elaborated, (1) The pedagogy is somewhat obvious. Since this...
