A new test of stationarity and its application to teletraffic data

چکیده
In this contribution we generalize the test of sphericity as a test of stationarity for time-series. The sphericity statistics is in our case a measure of distance between the empirical correlations calculated on two contiguous segments of the same process. We prove that under the hypothesis of stationarity the logarithm of the sphericity converges in distribution to a quadratic form in a multidimensional gaussian random variable with a convergence rate that is equal to the length of the observation window. We then derive a test of proportionality of the correlations of the process on the two segments. This new test of stationarity is applied to test if the traffic measured on today’s broadband networks is stationary. The results that we obtain are connected to many previous works according to which the traffic generated by modern high-speed networks is a stationary and long-range dependent process. 1.

A New Model Selection Test with Application to the Censored Data of Carbon Nanotubes Coating
Model selection of nano and micro droplet spreading can be widely used to predict and optimize of different coating processes such as ink jet printing, spray painting and plasma spraying. The idea of model selection is beginning with a set of data and rival models to choice the best one. The decision making on this set is an important question in statistical inference. Some tests and criteria a...
متن کاملDetermination of Climate Changes on Streamflow Process in the West of Lake Urmia With Used to Trend and Stationarity Analysis
One of the most important hydrological time series task is to determine if there is any trend in the data and how to achieve stationarity when there is nonstationarity behavior in data. Detecting trend and stationarity in hydrological time series may help us to understand the possible links between hydrological processes and global climate changes. In this study yearly, monthly and daily stream...

Regression is one of the most important statistical tools in data analysis and study of the relationship between predictive variables and the response variable. in most issues, regression models and decision tress only can show the main effects of predictor variables on the response and considering interactions between variables does not exceed of two way and ultimately three-way, due to co...
متن کاملDetection of non-stationarity in speech signals and its application to time-scaling
This paper describes an automatic method for the detection of non-stationarity in speech signals. It is based on three measures of non-stationarity using Line Spectrum Frequencies (LSFs), the derivative of RMS values, and a combination of these two features. The application of the proposed method to time-scaling of speech signals is also presented. Results from an informal listening test suppor...
