public interface TimeSeries<T extends Comparable<? super T>,V,E extends TimeSeries.Entry<T,V>>
extends Iterable<E>

A time series is a serially indexed collection of items. Time series data have a natural temporal ordering. This makes time series analysis distinct from other common data analysis problems that have no natural ordering of the observations. A time series model will generally reflect the fact that observations close together in time will be more closely related than observations further apart. In addition, a time series model will often make use of the natural one-way ordering of time so that values for a given period will be expressed as deriving in some way from past values, rather than from future values.

This implementation represents each datum and its timestamp as a pair of value and index often called time. The entries (pairs) are sorted in ascending order by the timestamps, c.f., TimeSeries.Entry. A TimeSeries is immutable.
