Books

The book "Analysis of time series structure: SSA and related techniques" (2001, in English) provides a careful, lucid description of the 'Caterpillar'-SSA general theory and methodology. Based on the authors' original work and filled with applications illustrated with real data sets, this book offers you the opportunity to obtain a working knowledge of why, when, and how SSA works. It builds a strong foundation for successfully using the technique in applications. All examples of the book are obtained with the help of the CaterpillarSSA v3.10 software.

The book "Principal Components of Time Series: the Caterpillar Method" (1997, in Russian) forms the basis of the Russian part of this site. The collection of papers is devoted to the unified theme: methodology (with many examples), theoretical ground and practicality of the method.
