近30年來，時間序列分析已成為數理統計中最重要和應用最廣泛的分支之一。其應用領域從神經生理學到天體物理學，涵蓋了經濟預測、生物數據研究、控制系統、信號處理、通信和振動工程等著名領域。《時間序列分析期刊》創刊于1980年，現已成為該領域的領先期刊，發表了有關基礎理論和應用的論文，并對該學科主要領域的最新進展進行了綜述，并就理論發展進行了簡短的交流。編輯委員會由許多時間序列分析方面的世界領先專家組成。

During the last 30 years Time Series Analysis has become one of the most important and widely used branches of Mathematical Statistics. Its fields of application range from neurophysiology to astrophysics and it covers such well-known areas as economic forecasting, study of biological data, control systems, signal processing and communications and vibrations engineering.The Journal of Time Series Analysis started in 1980, has since become the leading journal in its field, publishing papers on both fundamental theory and applications, as well as review papers dealing with recent advances in major areas of the subject and short communications on theoretical developments. The editorial board consists of many of the world's leading experts in Time Series Analysis.
