Abstract:
|
It is well-known that in general, second-order properties are insufficient for characterizing nonlinear time series. In particular, the normalized bispectral density function is constant for a linear, Gaussian series, but typically not for nonlinear series. Furthermore, different nonlinear time series models have different bispectral signatures. Based on these properties, we propose the use of distance measures based on the squared modulus of the estimated normalized bispectrum as a means for clustering nonlinear series. In this talk, we summarize the performance of agglomerative clustering methods that use distance measures computed from the estimated bispectrum for a mix of linear and nonlinear time series. We then present an application of the methods to a set of gamma-ray burst time profiles, to aid astrophysicists in identifying sets of gamma-ray bursts emanating from the same type of astral event.
