Journal of Forecasting

This special issue of the Journal of Forecasting (which is freely available online) jointly celebrates the 40th anniversary of the publication of George Box and Gwilym Jenkins' highly influential book Time Series Analysis: Forecasting and Control, which introduced a robust and easily implementable strategy for modelling time series, and the 50th anniversary of the appearance of Rudolf Kalman's article ‘A new approach to linear filtering and prediction problems’ in the Journal of Basic Engineering, which has had an extraordinary impact in many diverse fields, has led to major advances in recursive estimation, and has introduced the term Kalman filter into the lexicon of time series analysis and forecasting. The huge number of papers published in the Journal of Forecasting that reference these two publications bears testament to their seminal status and long-lasting influence, making them a natural choice to base a special issue around.
