Improved statistical test for nonstationarity using recurrence time statistics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have recently introduced a measure for nonstationarity using a recurrence time statistic to assess stationarity. In this paper we propose an extension of this method based on a detailed study of the statistics for the case of stationary systems. We derive a simple scheme that allows us to estimate the effective number of degrees of freedom relevant for this statistic. This substantially improves the statistical significance of the method and can be used to improve the significance of various other nonlinear statistics.

Recurrence Time Statistics for Chaotic Systems and Their Applications
By studying recurrence time statistics for chaotic systems, we identify two different types of recurrences and develop scaling laws relating the mean recurrence time to the information dimension of the chaotic attractor. We then design two novel and simple ways of using the recurrence time statistics for analyzing transient as well as nonstationary time series. We show that the methods are capa...
متن کاملStatistical tests for spatial nonstationarity based on the geographically weighted regression model
Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is a way of exploring spatial nonstationarity by calibrating a multiple regression model which allows different relationships to exist at different points in space. Nevertheless, formal testing procedures for spatial nonstationarity have not been developed since the inception of the model. In this paper the authors focus mainly on the development of stat...
متن کاملMeasuring nonstationarity by analyzing the loss of recurrence in dynamical systems.
We propose a measure for nonstationarity which is based on the analysis of distributions of temporal distances of neighboring vectors in state space. As an extension of previous techniques our method does not require a partitioning of the time series. Moreover, the deviation of mean recurrence times from frequency distributions that would be expected under stationary conditions allows us to est...
متن کاملMapping the results of local statistics: Using geographically weighted regression.
The application of geographically weighted regression (GWR) - a local spatial statistical technique used to test for spatial nonstationarity - has grown rapidly in the social, health and demographic sciences. GWR is a useful exploratory analytical tool that generates a set of location-specific parameter estimates which can be mapped and analysed to provide information on spatial nonstationarity...
متن کاملEndpoint detection in noisy environment using a Poincare recurrence metric
Speech endpoint detection continues to be a challenging problem particularly for speech recognition in noisy environments. In this paper, we address this problem from the point of view of fractals and chaos. By studying recurrence time statistics for chaotic systems, we find the nonstationarity and transience in a time series are due to non-recurrence and lack of fractal structure in the signal...
