MATLAB and Simulink Training

Time-Series Modeling in MATLAB

Course Details

This one-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to time-series modeling using MATLAB®and Econometrics Toolbox™. The course is intended for economists, analysts and other financial professionals with prior experience of MATLAB who require to develop and maintain time-series models. The course is designed to follow the standard Box-Jenkins procedure for developing time-series models.

High-level course themes include:

  • Preprocessing time-series data
  • Identifying long-term and seasonal trends in time-series data
  • Testing data stationarity using hypothesis tests
  • Creating and fitting ARIMA and GARCH time-series models to a data set
  • Comparing different model fits for the same data
  • Analyzing model dynamics using Monte Carlo simulations
  • Forecasting data using fitted models

This program has been approved by GARP and qualifies for 7 GARP CPD credit hours. If you are a Certified FRM or ERP, please record this activity in your credit tracker athttps://www.garp.org/cpd.
