[R] books on Time series

[Bailey, Jason W LCDR OPNAV, N81]

Antonio,

I just got the Cowpertwait and Metcalfe book (released today in the U.S.) and I think it's what you're looking for. It has good, practical examples and lots of sample code. I looked at Cryer's book, but it had too much on time series theory for my purposes; Cowpertcalfe helpfully marks the "theory sections" with asterisks for easy ignorability.

Good luck.

Subject: [R] books on Time series

Dear list fellows,

I want to study time series and use R to analyse time series of fishing 
data from several species (landings and cpue) investigating the 
correlation between them and with environmental factors (water 
temperature, wind, etc.).

Searching at Amazon I found three books with examples in R:
Time Series Analysis: With Applications in R by Jonathan D. Cryer and 
Jonathan D. Cryer

Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples by Robert H. 
Shumway and Robert H. Shumway

Introductory Time Series with R (Use R) by Paul S.P. Cowpertwait and 
Andrew V. Metcalfe
I would like to receive any suggestion of which is most appropriate for 
a non-statistician (I am a biologist). Reading only the index I could 
not evaluate it.

Thanks in advance,
