Chapter 6Analyzing Categorical Time Series

In Part II of this book, we shall be concerned with categorical processes c06-math-001; that is, the range c06-math-002 of c06-math-003 is not only assumed to be discrete, but also to be qualitative, consisting of a finite number c06-math-004 of categories, with c06-math-005 (state space). The time series c06-math-006 stemming from this kind of process are referred to as categorical time series. In some applications, the range of c06-math-007 exhibits at least a natural ordering; it is then referred to as an ordinal range. In other cases, not even such an inherent order exists (a nominal range). In Brenčič et al. (2015), for instance, time series about atmospheric circulation patterns are analyzed. Each day is assigned 1 out of 41 categories, called elementary circulation mechanisms (ECMs); although there are some relationships ...
