"Nonparametric Time Series Analysis"
Prof. Cees Diks, CeNDEF, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Outline of the course

In the outline, the papers printed in boldface will be covered in somewhat more detail than the others.

Links to Prof. Diks' papers can be found at the website:
http://home.uva.nl/c.g.h.diks
with one exception, the paper Diks and Panchenko (2005).

Most of the other papers are available in JSTOR (http://www.jstor.org /), except Baek and Brock (1992):

Programs used in the course:

The EFChaos program can be used for simulating dynamical systems, generate time series and produce a variety of standard plots.
The NTSA (Non-linear Time Series Analysis) program provides a set of tools for the analysis of time series.
