If you begin a journey of analyzing time series this is the book for you. Excellent book for every student - you must have and read it. I highly recommend, not to mentioned the fact that at the Web site of Prof. Rob J Hyndman are the data and "forecasting bundle of R packages provides new forecasting methods, and graphical tools for displaying and analysing forecasts" methods explain in that book.

If you need advanced Forecasting Methods and like the thick mathematical language of typical textbooks, this is for you.

I've been in the field for a few years now and I finally found a book that explains and summarizes the forecasting theory so good. This is my reference book now. I use it to teach my engineers in the subject and for personal reference as well. It provides new information that wasn't available 10 years ago. The explanaitions are good and the examples clear.
DecisionPro Users must have! March 2, 2005

Was referred to this book while evaluating several software packages for forecasting and this really helped us make the right decision. We decided on Vanguard Software DecisionPro as it supports all the methods (many of which I had no idea existed) that are outlines in this book. This book (and the software) are great. This is a great add-on for anyone doing forecasting!
This book has the formulas. March 12, 2004

Chapters 3 and 4, and on covered the vital information that is useful for inventory system forecasting at the SKU level, and for measuring the accuracy of the forecasts. This book was extremely helpful in that regard. Highly recommended.
