As I was designing an introductory course in forecasting for International Business students I came across a very interesting book available for download in the web. The book is “Forecasting: Principles and Practice” by Rob J Hyndman and George Athanasopoulos. Among several nice features, I would stress that this book is for (undergraduate and MBA) business students with little formal training in statistics and it presents plenty of examples using R. The third edition uses the tsibble and fable packages, while the second edition uses the forecast package. I really like chapters 2, 3, and 4 where the authors go over exploratory analysis of time series.

Statistical Learning using R – A downloadable book
I was looking for some books on Statistical Learning for a new course that I am preparing, and I came across a very interesting book titled “The Elements of Statistical Learning Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction” by Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, and Jerome Friedman. This book can be downloaded for free. I enjoyed reading this book since it is very well written and contains several examples. Additionally, data and R scripts used in the book are available for download in the book website.
