Antonio, You basically need the cross-correlation function in R which is very easy to use - just look up the examples in ?ccf. So, if any of the books you mention deal with it - you'll be ok.
If you know about ARIMA models (or know someone who does in a maths/stats dept) and stuff like that then you can use "transfer functions" to model the dynmaic relationships - I think ARIMA in R should allow you to do that using an "x" input function. My own personal favourite TS book is which is a bit mathematical (i.e. easier than the "old testament" bible - TSA by Brockwell and Davis) is: Time Series Analyis: Univariate and Multivariate Methods, by W. S. Wei, 1990. older, but still top notch in my opinion. Hope this helps! Gerard Antonio Olinto <aolint...@bignet .com.br> To Sent by: r-help@r-project.org r-help-boun...@r- cc project.org Subject [R] books on Time series 15/06/2009 02:30 Dear list fellows, I want to study time series and use R to analyse time series of fishing data from several species (landings and cpue) investigating the correlation between them and with environmental factors (water temperature, wind, etc.). Searching at Amazon I found three books with examples in R: Time Series Analysis: With Applications in R by Jonathan D. Cryer and Jonathan D. Cryer Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples by Robert H. Shumway and Robert H. Shumway Introductory Time Series with R (Use R) by Paul S.P. Cowpertwait and Andrew V. Metcalfe I would like to receive any suggestion of which is most appropriate for a non-statistician (I am a biologist). Reading only the index I could not evaluate it.
