Support for ST304 Time Series and Forecasting at LSE

Our tutoring for ST304 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, R exercises, forecasting tasks and exam-style questions, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.

Common Challenges

Students often struggle with:

  • understanding the assumptions and intuition behind time-series modelling in R, with particular attention to autocorrelation and stationarity
  • choosing the right method when moving between seasonal adjustment and ARMA and ARIMA models in problem sets, data work or coding tasks
  • interpreting estimates, diagnostics, proofs and output clearly in assessed answers
  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
How our tutors help

Our tutors can help by:

  • Reviewing the statistical or econometric intuition behind time-series modelling in R, with particular attention to autocorrelation and stationarity
  • Working through derivations and problem sets involving seasonal adjustment
  • Applying ARMA and ARIMA models in data work and interpreting the resulting output
  • Building confidence with coding, proofs and exam-style questions
  • Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of ST304 that feel unclear
