Such analyses are often performed in medical research. In economics, however, time series are typically long and of appreciable amplitude; therefore, economists are used to analyzing such data. Our procedure provides one more tool for the economists¡¯ data-analysis toolbox. We illustrate the procedure¡¯s application with three examples of real economics data. The examples demonstrate that the procedure can be profitably applied to short economics time series.
