Vector time series:

Vector time series are a natural generalization of ordinary (scalar) time series . Vector time series are measurements of a vector variable taken at regular intervals over time. They are represented as sequences of vector values like


V(1), V(2), ...

An simplest example of vector time series is weather records averaged over 24-hours, where V(i) = (T(i), P(i)) ; T(i) and P(i) are average atmospheric temperature and pressure at the (i)th day, respectively.
