Nonlinear Time Series Analysis of Sunspot Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the analysis of sunspot number time series using the Hurst exponent. We use the rescaled range (R/S) analysis to estimate the Hurst exponent for 259-year and 11 360-year sunspot data. The results show a varying degree of persistence over shorter and longer time scales corresponding to distinct values of the Hurst exponent. We explain the presence of these multiple Hurst exponents by their resemblance to the deterministic chaotic attractors having multiple centers of rotation.

Predicting future behavior of chaotic time series system is a challenging area in the literature of nonlinear systems. The prediction's accuracy of chaotic time series is extremely dependent on the model and the learning algorithm. On the other hand the cyclic solar activity as one of the natural chaotic systems has significant effects on earth, climate, satellites and space missions. Several m...

Chaotic time-series is a dynamic nonlinear system whose features can not be fully reflected by Linear Regression Model or Static Neural Network. While Nonlinear Autoregressive with eXogenous input includes feedback of network output, therefore, it can better reflect the system’s dynamic feature. Take annual active times of sunspot as an example, after verifying the chaos of sunspot time-series ...

In this paper, the recent improvement of the Wolf sunspot time–series by Hoyt and co-workers has been analysed with the Global Flow Reconstruction (GFR) method (Serre et al. 1996a and b). A nonlinear 4–dimensional chaotic model has been extracted from the data which captures the principal characteristic features of the sunspot group time–series. The hypothesis of interactions between magnetic m...

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Model Selection Methods for Nonlinear Time Series
Constructing models of nonlinear time series is typically NP-hard. One of the difficulties is the local minima, and it is difficult to find a global best model. Some methods have already been proposed that attempt to find good models with reasonable computation time. In this paper we propose new methods that can compensate for a drawback of a method previously proposed by Judd and Mees. A stand...
