Transformation-cost time-series method for analyzing irregularly sampled data

Time Series Analysis for Irregularly Sampled Data

Many spectral estimation methods for irregularly sampled data tend to be heavily biased at higher frequencies or fail to produce a spectrum that is positive for all frequencies. A time series spectral estimator is introduced that applies the principles of a new automatic equidistant missing data algorithm to unevenly spaced data. This time series estimator approximates the irregular data by a n...

Spectral Analysis of Irregularly Sampled Data with Time Series Models

Slotted resampling transforms an irregularly sampled process into an equidistant missing-data problem. Equidistant resampling inevitably causes bias, due to aliasing and the shift of the irregular observation times to an equidistant grid. Taking a slot width smaller than the resampling time can diminish the shift bias. A dedicated estimator for time series models of multiple slotted data sets w...

Comparison of correlation analysis techniques for irregularly sampled time series

Geoscientific measurements often provide time series with irregular time sampling, requiring either data reconstruction (interpolation) or sophisticated methods to handle irregular sampling. We compare the linear interpolation technique and different approaches for analyzing the correlation functions and persistence of irregularly sampled time series, as Lomb-Scargle Fourier transformation and ...

Falcon: Visual analysis of large, irregularly sampled, and multivariate time series data in additive manufacturing

Estimation of time-delayed mutual information and bias for irregularly and sparsely sampled time-series.

A method to estimate the time-dependent correlation via an empirical bias estimate of the time-delayed mutual information for a time-series is proposed. In particular, the bias of the time-delayed mutual information is shown to often be equivalent to the mutual information between two distributions of points from the same system separated by infinite time. Thus intuitively, estimation of the bi...
