Next: Basic principles of Up: Time Series Analysis Previous: Time Series Analysis . In spite of enormous amounts of existing software and literature on time series analysis (TSA), only comparatively little work has been done concerning those time series which are most often encountered in astronomy, namely unevenly sampled series. Hence, our first reason for yet another TSA package is to provide tools to handle such series. ... A summary of the commands and their syntaxes is listed in Sect. ...
