Time Series Analysis of Bitcoin Prices

Abstract

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency created by an unknown person or persons using the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. It is a decentralized, peer-to-peer currency. Even though all transactions are public, the identity of any particular party of a transaction is difficult to trace. Therefore, it is commonly used by criminals alongside legitimate users interested in privacy or novelty. Discipline: Statistics Faculty Mentor: Dr. Cristina Anton
