"…the authors should be congratulated for writing a coherent monograph on modern time series analysis with a focus on nonparametric approaches. I believe that this book will become a standard reference in this area and remain so for a long time. Graduate students in statistics, economics, and financial engineering should be happy to have a much-needed textbook on modern time series methods, which covers not only ARIMA models, but also the newer and more flexible nonlinear and nonparametric techniques."

"This is a book that one can read as a beginner or as an expert. Although there are plenty of theorems, there are also plenty of numerical examples, with both real and simulated data, and lots of pictures and graphics (SPLUS-style). The topics are very fully explained and discussed, and there are many pointers to the literature for further study (with about six hundred references listed)."

"Fan and Yao's book has a lot to offer. First, it is readable, even by those with limited knowledge of time-series analysis, as the authors spend time on all the basic concepts. Second, it is self-contained so you do not need other books to understand it. Third, it contains many examples and illustrations to explain the intuition behind the concepts. Fourth, it is up to date and has the latest cutting-edge methods to handle nonlinear time series." Quantitative Finance, 2004
