Applications of time-series analysis: a case study on the impact of computer tomography.
Time-series techniques are applied to an analysis of the use of neurodiagnostic procedures in Athens, to evaluate the effect of the introduction of computer tomography. Results confirm the usefulness of such techniques, but illustrate the dependence of their successful application on the nature and quality of data.
