Abstract
Dr. Krolik provides an interesting overview of a number of time series problems arising in astronomy and describes some of the difficulties that arise in trying to analyze series that are noisy, irregularly recorded, and relatively short. Finally, he reviews several attempts to deal with these difficulties and asks how well these methods may be expected to perform.

These remarks refer to both the paper by Julian H. Krolik (Chapter 15) and that of Rosolino Buccheri (this chapter).
