The aim of the course:
This course is a continuation of Time Series Analyses-I course and has the same objectives.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : understand those time series techniques that have been recently developed.1,21,3,
PO - 2 : recognize that when and how to use these new techniques.1,21,3,
PO - 3 : produce forecasts and test economic, financial or fiscal hypothesis by using time series.1,21,3,
PO - 4 : determine the best forecast by evaluating various forecasts and choose acceptable hypotheses that are suitable for Turkish case.1,21,3,
PO - 5 : produce micro or macro policies based on hypothesis investigated and forecast chosen.1,21,3,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
