Time series data contain a natural ordering. A time series data set has a natural ordering as the time stamps or other indices of the observations are ordered. For example, it is often possible to order the observations in a dataset according to the order of their creation. This makes time series analysis distinct from cross-sectional studies, in which there is no natural ordering of the observations (e.g. explaining people's wages by reference to their respective education levels, where the individuals' data could be entered in any order). Time series analysis is also distinct from spatial data analysis where the observations typically relate to geographical locations (e.g. accounting for house prices by the location as well as the intrinsic characteristics of the houses). A stochastic model for a time series will generally reflect the fact that observations close together in time will be more closely related than observations further apart. In addition, time series models will often make use of the natural one-way ordering of time so that values for a given period will be expressed as deriving in some way from past values, rather than from future values (see time reversibility).
In some cases, the data at hand may be represented by a time series, or series of series, rather than by a set of scalar values. This may reflect, for example, situations where the data consist of a series of discrete events (such as the arrival of goods at a warehouse), or of a series of ordered responses to a set of questions (such as a series of surveys). For example, this would occur in studies involving repeated telephone calls, or of the responses to a telephone survey.
Data may also consist of a series of scalar values, but may not be time series data. For example, they might be level data (such as the average water level in a river) or categorical data (such as the type of work being done in a factory).
Second, the target function, call it g, may be unknown; instead of an explicit formula, only a set of points (a time series) of the form (x, g(x)) is provided. Depending on the structure of the domain and codomain of g, several techniques for approximating g may be applicable. For example, if g 827ec27edc
