Very useful book

There are many good books on time series analysis, i.e. Enders (1995), Hamilton (1994), and Maddala and Kim (1998). Unfortunately, the books is intended for advance learner. While Enders (1995) is accessible for begginners, it seems getting old and become a nostalgia.Fortunately, Patterson (2001) has provided a readability book for student and practitioner that all this time has been forgotten by most writers in this subject. Without going into much frighteners (and more likely will confuse the... more info
