Spectral Estimation of Stationary Time Series: Recent Developments

author

Abstract:

Spectral analysis considers the problem of determining (the art of recovering) the spectral content (i.e., the distribution of power over frequency) of a stationary time series from a finite set of measurements, by means of either nonparametric or parametric techniques. This paper introduces the spectral analysis problem, motivates the definition of power spectral density functions, and reviews some important and new techniques in nonparametric and parametric spectral estimation. We also consider the problem in the context of multivariate time series.

Spectral estimation for locally stationary time series with missing observations

Time series arising in practice often have an inherently irregular sampling structure or missing values, that can arise for example due to a faulty measuring device or complex time-dependent nature. Spectral decomposition of time series is a traditionally useful tool for data variability analysis. However, existing methods for spectral estimation often assume a regularly-sampled time series, or...

Recent Developments in Chaotic Time Series Analysis

In this paper, two issues are addressed: (1) the applicability of the delay-coordinate embedding method to transient chaotic time series analysis, and (2) the Hilbert transform methodology for chaotic signal processing. A common practice in chaotic time series analysis has been to reconstruct the phase space by utilizing the delay-coordinate embedding technique, and then to compute dynamical in...

Intermittent estimation of stationary time series

Intermittent estimation of stationary time series. Abstract Let {X n } ∞ n=0 be a stationary real-valued time series with unknown distribution. Our goal is to estimate the conditional expectation of X n+1 based on the observations X i , 0 ≤ i ≤ n in a strongly consistent way. Bailey and Ryabko proved that this is not possible even for ergodic binary time series if one estimates at all values of...

Covariance Matrix Estimation for Stationary Time Series

We obtain a sharp convergence rate for banded covariance matrix estimates of stationary processes. A precise order of magnitude is derived for spectral radius of sample covariance matrices. We also consider a thresholded covariance matrix estimator that can better characterize sparsity if the true covariance matrix is sparse. As our main tool, we implement Toeplitz [Math. Ann. 70 (1911) 351–376...

Parameter Estimation for Periodically Stationary Time Series

The innovations algorithm can be used to obtain parameter estimates for periodically stationary time series models. In this paper we compute the asymptotic distribution for these estimates in the case where the innovations have a finite fourth moment. These asymptotic results are useful to determine which model parameters are significant. In the process, we also develop asymptotics for the Yule...

The Spectral Density Estimation of Stationary Time Series with Missing Data

The spectral estimation of unevenly sampled data has been widely investigated in astronomical and medical areas. However the investigations are usually carried out in the context of periodicity detection and deterministic signal. Here we consider estimating the spectral density of stationary time series with missing data. An asymptotically unbiased estimation approach is proposed. The simulatio...
