This is an excellent and very timely book dedicated to statistical methods developed for analysis of discrete-valued time series. The field of time series analysis has been mainly focused on continuous models. In general, however, these models are not appropriate for time series with discrete values (e.g., counts, binary, and categorical data). This book puts together the state of- the-art methods that are developed in recent years to address this issue....
[T]his current edition is ... a quite impressive book addressing a very challenging problem, and it should be considered the starting point for all researchers interested in this topic.

This book is rather more specialized in its coverage of the modelling of different observed count-process-based time series and would be suitable for statistical researchers and graduate students. It is enhanced with a good number of interesting examples...Generally, the book includes theoretical derivations and formulae that have been written in a readily understood and simple way and it makes it easy for the reader to follow the corresponding applications...Overall, this is a good authoritative source. The authors have gathered material within specific topics to make it a useful and easy reference for researchers who are interested in count data time series. This book is aimed at postgraduate students and it can be used as a research source.

The analysis of discrete-valued time series has generated much interest amongst time series analysts in recent years...This book is a very important contribution to the analysis of discrete-valued time series...The handbook will be a very valuable source for anyone who is interested in the analysis of integer-valued processes and will be a reference book for years to come.

... this volume will be useful for researchers involved in the modeling time series of counts. However, some of the techniques available in the handbook can be implemented for other types of discrete-valued time series...The style and structure of the handbook is unified. All the articles are well structured and consistent in style and presentation...The book is a good mix of methodological and application chapters...Researchers and professionals looking to learn more in this field of study could benefit from articles showcased in this handbook. The content in most of these selected chapters has proved to be an enjoyable read.
