Abstract
This chapter is essentially an advertisement for the sequential and time-series analysis of observational data. It is currently reasonable to make the following statement: Anyone who has collected data over time and ignores time is missing an opportunity. It will be helpful to back up this statement with several examples and with a discussion of conceptual issues.
