Singular spectrum analysis for time series with missing data

David H. Schoellhamer

Open full text 220 citations

Abstract

Geophysical time series often contain missing data, which prevents analysis with many signal processing and multivariate tools. A modification of singular spectrum analysis for time series with missing data is developed and successfully tested with synthetic and actual incomplete time series of suspended‐sediment concentration from San Francisco Bay. This method also can be used to low pass filter incomplete time series.
