Gaussian and Non-Gaussian Linear Time Series and Random Fields

From the reviews: SHORT BOOK REVIEWS "...will make this book useful as a reference source to the more theoretical among time series specialists." ZENTRALBLATT MATH "This publication can be recommended to readers familiar with the basic concepts of time series who are interested in estimation problems in nonminimum phase processes."
