The sample schedule starts with time-series analysis and a probability/statistics review, then regression, decomposition and smoothing.
The sample schedule moves through stochastic models, ARIMA and seasonal ARIMA, including regression with time-series errors.
Later sample topics include ARCH/GARCH, value at risk, classification, high-frequency models and market microstructure.
The sample syllabus includes vector autoregression and pairs trading; the catalog identifies model diagnostics and state-space models among course topics.
A small set of visible Lin/TS485 ratings describes homework, exams and lectures differently across posts, so treat these as instructor- and period-specific impressions rather than a stable course-wide consensus.
