Best books to learn Time series analysis and forecasting, in order
Time series breaks the independence assumptions most statistics rely on, so the order matters: the ideas of trend, seasonality, and autocorrelation first, then the classical ARIMA and state-space models, then modern machine-learning and multivariate forecasting. Jumping to fancy models before you can decompose and diagnose a series produces confident but wrong predictions, so the arc runs from foundations, to classical models, to advanced forecasting.
