Louis: R has many options for time series analysis. Google "R time series". A couple of good books to get you started are 1.) Time Series Analysis: With Applications in R by Cryer and Chan and 2.) Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples by Shumway and Stoffer. -- Phil

Time series modeling and simulation (Louis Macovsky) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:36:14 -0700 From: "Louis Macovsky" <dynbiosys at verizon.net> Subject: [R-sig-eco] Time series modeling and simulation To: <r-sig-ecology at r-project.org> Message-ID: <006b01c8ffc6$950db490$0201a8c0 at dynbiosys> Content-Type: text/plain Hello, I am new to R and this list. The rule is never apologize before asking your question. So let me break this rule. First I am not a statistician and I have always struggled with the subject so please forgive me if I mangle terms and at times seem naive. The objective of my models and simulations is to reproduce observed time series data with tools that allow multiple parameter assumptions and then try to predict future behavior of the modeled system. Presently my only computer tool for curve fitting is least squares. As I add each parameter to my models, I attempt to throughly explore their effect on model behavior. I would like to explore what I can do with R. For now curve fitting and describe confidence limits of simulated time series data. I can export simulation results into excel for use by R. Assuming my very brief description of my objectives is clear enough, please give me suggestions of references and other reading sources that might help me explore what I can do with time series data in R. Is there anyone on this list doing the same?
