Time Series Analysis for Irregularly Sampled Data
نویسنده
چکیده
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 number of equidistantly resampled missing data sets, with a special nearest neighbor method. Slotted nearest neighbor resampling replaces a true observation time instant by the nearest equidistant resampling time point, but only if it is within half the slot width. A smaller slot reduces the bias. Therefore, multi shift slotted nearest neighbor uses a slot width that is a fraction of the resampling time, giving equidistant data sets with slightly different starting points, shifted over the slot width. Results can be accurate at frequencies much higher than the mean data rate. Copyright © 2005 IFAC.

متن کاملSpectral 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...

Building accurate predictive models of clinical multivariate time series is crucial for understanding of the patient condition, the dynamics of a disease, and clinical decision making. A challenging aspect of this process is that the model should be flexible and adaptive to reflect well patient-specific temporal behaviors and this also in the case when the available patient-specific data are sp...
متن کاملTime series models for spectral analysis of irregular data far beyond the mean data rate
Slotted resampling transforms an irregularly sampled process into an equidistantly sampled signal where data are missing. Equidistant resampling always causes spectral bias, due to aliasing and to shifting of the observation times. The shift bias can be diminished by using a slot width that is smaller than the resampling time step. A special approximate maximum likelihood time series estimator ...
