Time Series Lab Software
Time Series Lab is a software program designed to model and forecast time series. You can choose from a range of time series models, for example, Exponential Smoothing, ARIMA models, Score-driven models, and State Space models. The models of Time Series Lab use advanced techniques but are designed to be easy to use. At the most basic level all that is required is some appreciation of the concepts of trend and seasonal. The hard work is done by the program, leaving the user free to concentrate on formulating models and using them to make forecasts.
Time Series Lab Research
The Time Series Lab Article Series is dedicated to applied research performed with Time Series Lab software. The scope of the series includes the analysis and forecasting of a wide range of time series including economics, finance, sports, climatology, biology, engineering, and health science.

Time Series Lab Consultancy
Time Series Lab offers consultancy services to companies who require data analysis that go beyond what is offered by our software packages. We advise on data analysis methods and implementation of them. Time Series Lab also designs software packages specifically suited to your company.
TSL Sports Statistics
The Time Series Lab team dives into the world of Sports Statistics. We developed a new package called Time Series Lab - Sports Statistics Edition. This is a software program for analysing, modelling, and forecasting of time series focusing on sports results. The software allows you to choose from several probability distributions and model specifications to extract sports team strengths from your data. The software is based on football models that appeared in the academic literature.
Time Series Lab Engine
The engine behind our Time Series Lab software is a set of C routines with the name SsfPack. We pride ourselves in having extremely efficient time series algorithms that result in fast optimisation times even for large systems. When working with large datasets our optimised algorithms are an important asset in keeping estimation times as low as possible.
