As was the case when preparing my previous survey (Newbold, 1984), the sheer volume of recent published material in time series analysis, together with its diversity, dictated that attention here should be restricted to a few selected topics. In making this choice, I have tried both to cover a broad range of developments and to highlight those areas which have seen the most exciting progress and which promise further growth of attention in the near future. No doubt this selection will not be to the taste of all readers, and inevitably to some extent it reflects my own prejudices. In the following sections we consider recent advances in structural and unobserved components models, models with unit autoregressive roots, model selection and order estimation, autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity, and robust estimation of time series models. It must be admitted that the problem of model selection has received attention in both my previous reviews. Nevertheless, the quantity and quality of recent work on this topic dictate further discussion here.
