books?

For multivariate time series analysis i recommend the following

1. (New) Introduction to multiple time series by Helmut Lutkepohl (springer verlag). This book is really the multiple time serie bible

2. Analysis of financial time series, second edition, by Ruey Tsay (wiley)

3. Modeling financial time series with Splus, 2nd edition by Eric Zivot and Jiahui wang (springer)

Hi Everyone!

I do some forecasts for my job and recently have started to realize that
I may be able to make better forecasts if I look at multivariate
analysis rather than fit several univariate models. Unfortunately in
undergrad I only took one course in univarate analysis.

I was wondering what some good books are on the subject of multivariate
time series analysis? Especially any that use R over other languages.

Thanks,

-Max

My base references for time series are
Statistical Analysis of Financial Data in S-Plus by Carmona
Time Series Analysis by Hamilton
and
Applied Econometric Time Series by Enders

I also use several econometric texts
Judge, etal's series
	Theory and Practice of Econometrics,
	Introduction to the ditto, and
	Learning and Practicing Econometrics
Greene's Econometric Analysis.

A side note, my wife and I are building a bibliography of our personal
libraries of books and papers on www.financialseal.com under analytics
and research.   It is in the infancy stages, but we are trying to update
it regularly.  These and other financial and statistical references will
be there.  The connection is slow, so patience is required.
