I need a roadmap to get me to a decent understanding of statistical
time series analysis. The last time I saw college an actor was
president.
Lets assume I know nothing beyond basic algebra. What online resources
and books, and in what order, should I hit them?
e.g.
Trig - http://blahblahblh.org, "This Great Book I used", etc..
Pre-Calc -
Linear Algebra-
...
Statistics
Times Series Analysis
etc...
In short what educational (self taught, I live on the moon lets say,
no colleges near by, etc.) path do I need to hunr down so I can
understand say Box & Jenkin's time series book? P.S. I am broke so any
non-online resources are coming from the public library.
To understand that, you will need at least calculus,
and Fourier transforms. Get through calculus first;
you will need that to understand the normal distribution,
which is used in deriving the methods.
You are likely to have to build up to calculus.
To really understand time series, considerably more
is needed, including linear algebra, basic foundations
of real analysis, and measure theory.
