Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Time_series library

Hi Eric,

i just want to point out that Boost.Time_series is not compatible with 
the current boost release 1.36.
The compilation of Boost.time_series together with boost 1.36 was not 
successful due to some errors.

You have written in your description that
Boost.Time_series does not yet contain all the algorithms one might want 
in order to perform full time series analysis.
Does it mean that the user should choose Boost.time_series as a starting 
point to implement the algorithm to perform full time series analysis?

Let's say i want to implement an algorithm to calculate the spectral 
density on a time series.
Why is Boost.time_series a good choice for me?

Since the library Boost.accumulators already contains many useful 
functions like count, covariance,.. I would choose it as my starting point.

Thanks for your answer,

Kim Tang
