Finding Stationary Subspaces in Multivariate Time Series

Identifying temporally invariant components in complex multivariate time series is key to understanding the underlying dynamical system and predict its future behavior. In this Letter, we propose a novel technique, stationary subspace analysis (SSA), that decomposes a multivariate time series into its stationary and nonstationary part. The method is based on two assumptions: (a) the observed signals are linear superpositions of stationary and...
