Syllabus

It is essential in this new era to have professionals who are capable of exploring and extracting knowledge that adds value and supports the decisions they make in any professional field. In this sense, analyzing stochastic phenomena has become the main objective of time series models. In this Postgraduate certificate, special emphasis will be given to those models that represent greater versatility and adaptation for the analysis of these systems. 

Therefore, during the development of this program, it will be possible to delve into the theoretical foundations on the spectral analysis of univariate time series, as well as the fundamental aspects related to inference based on the eriodogram and its interpretation. 

All the knowledge contained in this program is supported by the experience of an excellent teaching staff that, in a dynamic and practical way, will present several examples applicable to the student's daily work. 

For these reasons, this Postgraduate certificate is perfect for those professionals who wish to add value to their companies, based on the deep, detailed and accurate analysis of data. 

This Postgraduate certificate takes place over 6 weeks and it consists of 1 module:
