An Introduction to univariate financial time series analysis 1 Introduction: what is a time-series? Time-series is a sequence {x1‚ x2‚ ...‚ xT } or {xt} ‚ t = 1‚ ...‚ T‚ where t is an index denoting the period in time in which x occurs. We shall treat xt as a random variable; hence‚ a time-series is a sequence of random variables ordered in time. Such a sequence is known as a stochastic process. The probability structure of a sequence of random variables is determined by the joint distribution
