Editorial Reviews
Review
"The book is a little gem. I found the writing in this book to be a refreshing contrast, making technical concepts understandable."-- FORESIGHT, The International Journal of Applied Forecasting
"An excellent starting point for anyone dealing with time series forecasting. One of the best intro books on time series and forecasting I have ever seen."-- Prof. Ron Kenett
"A concise and well-written book for MBA and Executive MBA programs. The book is especially timely as more MBA programs are using R."-- Prof. Johannes Ledolter
"Galit Shmueli has provided something that you don't see very often - a book with meat that does not have pages and pages stuffed full of equations..."-- John Seymour, "John the Math Guy"
The exposition is accessible to students with a wide range of backgrounds, and balanced between enough mathematics to explain the methods but not so much that it raises barriers to understanding... first-rate textbook at a bargain price.-- Prof. Thomas Tiahrt

Si bien el libro esta bien estructurado y utiliza un lenguaje claro, tiene un grandisimo inconveniente: no trae las respuestas a los problemas de cada capitulo, tampoco estan disponibles en la pagina web.
Es inconcebible un libro cuyo titulo diga PRACTICO , no ponga a disposición de sus lectores el solucionario de los problemas propuestos.
Escribí al autor quien rapida y gentilmente me respondió que solo se comparten las soluciones con instrcutores que oficialmente adopten el libro como guía de sus clases, con esto deja por fuera a todas las personas que no tenemos los recursos para acceder a un curso y que compra libros para aprender por si mismos sin instructores o paragando onerosos cursos.
Tambien me sugirio tomar su curso online por la múdica suma de USD 589 dolares.
En fin me siento ESTAFADO.
