We facilitate within-group and external research collaborations (promoting collaborative publications, ARC and other grant funding applications and PhD supervisions), in areas related to time series and forecasting.
Time Series data captures information on variables whose values change, and are collected, over time. The time interval for collection can be anywhere from a micro second to a century, and can be synchronous or asynchronous/irregular.
Analyses of such data helps make sense of trends and gradual or abrupt changes over time – primarily by identifying patterns, associations and causation between variables. Knowledge about these matters is used in a wide variety of business and policy settings – especially in forecasting future developments and predicting behavior in real time.
In addition to ongoing research collaborations, we aim to build professional links and awareness about time series and forecasting by:
