I studied the 4-volume SAS/ETS user's guide (http://www.okstate.edu/sas/v8/saspdf/ets/pdfidx.htm), but mostly just the ARIMA procedure. <BR /> <BR /> I also found the book Time Series by Kendall &amp; Ord at the municipal library, which explains the theory behind time series analysis. In my limited experience I've found that there's as much art as there is science to time series analysis, and theory helps explain some of the choices that need to be made, more so than the SAS User's Guide did.<BR /> <BR /> Good luck and happy learning!<BR /> <BR /> Tricia Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:30:06 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Forecasting-and-Econometrics/Forecasting-material/m-p/74177#M333 sassygrl 2010-09-28T14:30:06Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Forecasting-and-Econometrics/Forecasting-material/m-p/74178#M334 Hi sassygrl ,<BR /> Thanks for the post.I looks like the okstate url is down,I cannot access it.<BR /> And yes I'm interested in switching gears to forecasting.
