### Significant bias introduced into simple simulation

You have fallen victim to the renewal paradox, a.k.a. inspection paradox, a.k.a. length-biased sampling. $F_{\Delta}$ is the distribution of service time for the kth customer, but it is NOT the ...

### Meaning of Moving Average Term in ARIMA

For time series, it is better to think about the $\alpha_t$ terms (supposed to be an independent mean zero series) as innovations, not errors. They are not modeling errors of measurements, but the ...

### How to handle many time series?

If the 1200 products are closely related, so that trend (if any) and noise are likely to be correlated across products, a single model might make sense. If they are loosely related (so that they might ...

### How to handle many time series?

This problem is a multivariate (simply when you have more than one time-dependent variables) time series for which you can use Vector Auto Regression (VAR) technique among some others. Explanation and ...

### Significant bias introduced into simple simulation

Note: This answer is intended to show what I have learned from the valuable answer provided by @Mark L.Stone. His post answered my question of why the simulation is biased. Hence, this post provides ...

### Approximately evenly-spaced subsequence

I have never encountered a problem like this in literature, but here is one possible way of formulating the problem as a MIP. Notation: $n$: length of the number series $l$: desired length of the ...
