4 Definition and application he main task is to analyse data sets (in time) Definition time series emporal sequence of measurements with some statistical properties ype of the measurements Continuous X(t) X i ( t i ) Discrete ime Series Analysis page 4

6 An Example A critical load has to be analysed What is the probability that this level is exceeded? hreshold Q* ime Series Analysis page 6
7 An Example: temporal variability of water availability Demand Run length of decrease ime Series Analysis page 7
