Do you know of any online lectures/classes that cover the Time Series material, or is reading independently the only option? The forum is definitely useful for specific questions, but the entire book looks like a foreign language to me.

[NEAS: The subject (time series and ARIMA processes) takes a while to get used to, since many candidates have never had a time series course. Read the first four chapters, then start over and read again. Once you catch the logic, the subject is not difficult.]
