This chapter provided an overview of time series analysis with R. We started with the basic definition of time series data and the analysis process, which we will use throughout this book. In addition, we discussed the uses of R for time series analysis. This included the packages and the datasets we will use in this book. Last but not least, we provided a brief introduction to the R programming languages so that we could align them with the R prerequisites of this book.
In the next chapter, we will focus on the date and time object, one of the core elements of the time series object.
