Which is an example of interrupted time series analysis?
Interrupted time series analysis, sometimes known as quasi-experimental time series analysis, is an approach for the analysis of a single time series of data known to be affected by interventions (controlled external influences). Applications of it include various sectors such as:

How is a time series used in a study?
A time series is a continuous sequence of observations on a population, taken repeatedly (normally at equal intervals) over time. In an ITS study, a time series of a particular outcome of interest is used to establish an underlying trend, which is ‘interrupted’ by an intervention at a known point in time.
How is CPI related to interrupted time series?
The nonlinear least-squares estimates of the parameters in the model were obtained thus the analysis suggests that a drop in the rate of increase of the CPI is associated with Phase 1, but the effect of Phase 2 is much less certain.
How are counterfactuals used in interrupted time series?
In other words, it is crucial to create “counterfactuals” that serve as the baseline point. We can attribute the “altered” trajectory to the presence of the intervention. Fortunately, there is a time component with ITS, as the name suggests, that allows us to assume the outcome variable would not change if the intervention were not present.
Is the mean of a time series constant?
The mean is non-constant and there is clearly an upward trend. The variance appears to be pretty consistent however. We can further check this through the acf2 () function.
How are time series affected by special events?
Time series are often affected by special events or circumstances such as policy changes, advertising promotions, environmental regulations, and similar events, which we shall refer to as intervention events.
