Abstract

This dissertation gives a comprehensive report of my doctoral research in time series analysis from summer 2006 to spring 2009. It is comprised of two main efforts: interval estimation for an autoregressive parameter and arc length tests for equivalent ARIMA dynamics. Such problems are traditional in statistics, but three new theorems and several simulations are presented here that help elucidate new ways to handle them.
