Contents for this section

 Time series data arises often when monitoring industrial processes or tracking corporate business metrics. The essential difference between modeling data via time series methods or using the process monitoring methods discussed earlier in this chapter is the following:
Time series analysis accounts for fact that data points taken over time may have internal structure (such as autocorrellation, trend or seasonal variation) that should be accounted for. 
This section will give a brief overview of some of the more widely used techniques in the rich and rapidly growing field of time series modeling and analysis.
