| title: "Time Series" | |
| --- | |
| **Aim**: To design a standardised protocol for the analysis of palaeontological time series data. | |
| Time series analysis has become a widely used suite of methods in quantitative Palaeobiology. However, there remains little consensus on the optimal ways to implement the methodology, given that it comprises a complex series of options throughout the different stages. | |
| This project can be openly contributed to on [GitHub](). | |
| ## Project concept | |
| This project will include aspects such as: | |
| * How to treat missing data; | |
| * The optimal method of 'detrending'; | |
| * Autoregressive models; | |
| * How to treat residual data, and statistical biases; and | |
| * Model-fitting and correlation analyses. | |
| ## Key links | |
| * [An introduction to using the paleobioDB package in R](https://github.com/Meta-Paleo/TimeSeries/blob/master/PaleoBioDB.md). | |
| * [Key papers](https://github.com/Meta-Paleo/TimeSeries/tree/master/Key_papers). | |
| * [R code for calculating extinction rates](https://github.com/Meta-Paleo/TimeSeries/blob/master/Extinction_rates.r). | |
| * [Instructions on how to execute SQS in R and Perl](https://github.com/Meta-Paleo/TimeSeries/tree/master/SQS). | |
| ## Contributing | |
| Time Series is an open project that anyone can contribute to on [GitHub](https://github.com/Meta-Paleo/TimeSeries). All data sources, methods, code, and results are openly shared for collaboration and inspection as the project evolves. | |
| We strongly encourage others to participate in the project, propose their own ideas, and to contribute or re-use any of the data or other information available here. | |
