Estimating persistence for irregularly spaced historical data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract This paper introduces to the literature on Economic History a measure of persistence which is particularly useful when data are irregularly spaced. An illustration ten historical unevenly spaced series for Holland 1738 1779 shows merits methodology. It found that weight slave-based contribution in period has grown with deterministic trend pattern.

Multiresolution Analysis Adapted to Irregularly Spaced Data
This paper investigates the mathematical background of multiresolution analysis in the specific context where the signal is represented by irregularly sampled data at known locations. The study is related to the construction of nested piecewise polynomial multiresolution spaces represented by their corresponding orthonormal bases. Using simple spline basis orthonormalization procedures involves...
متن کاملA test for stationarity for irregularly spaced spatial data
Abstract The analysis of spatial data is based on a set of assumptions, which in practice need to be checked. A commonly used assumption is that the spatial random field is second order stationary. In this paper, a test for spatial stationarity for irregularly sampled data is proposed. The test is based on a transformation of the data (a type of Fourier transform), where the correlations betwee...
متن کاملApproximate likelihood for large irregularly spaced spatial data.
Likelihood approaches for large irregularly spaced spatial datasets are often very difficult, if not infeasible, to implement due to computational limitations. Even when we can assume normality, exact calculations of the likelihood for a Gaussian spatial process observed at n locations requires O(n(3)) operations. We present a version of Whittle's approximation to the Gaussian log likelihood fo...
متن کاملBayesian smoothing of irregularly-spaced data using Fourier basis functions
The spectral representation of Gaussian processes via the Fourier basis provides a computationally efficient specification of spatial surfaces and nonparametric regression functions in various statistical models. I describe the representation in detail and introduce the spectralGP R library for computations. Because of the large number of basis coefficients, some form of shrinkage is necessary;...
