Abstract
Trend analysis has an interdisciplinary context that is shared by many researchers all over the world. The preliminary recommendation in this chapter is about visual trend examination and identification in a given time series to feel what are the possibilities of trend existence either holistically or partially. In this manner the researcher will be able to decide which type of the probabilistic, statistical, and mathematical approach for its objective determination. A brief discussion about trend analysis usage is presented on the basis of a set of disciplines. Additionally, pros and cons about trend analysis approaches are presented briefly and finally future trend research directions are mentioned with the purpose of this book.
