Structural break detection method based on the Adaptive Regression Splines technique

Abstract

For many real data, long term observation consists of different processes that coexist or occur one after the other. Those processes very often exhibit different statistical properties and thus before the further analysis the observed data should be segmented. This problem one can find in different applications and therefore new segmentation techniques have been appeared in the literature during last years. In this paper we propose a new method of time series segmentation, i.e. extraction from the analysed vector of observations homogeneous parts with similar behaviour. This method is based on the absolute deviation about the median of the signal and is an extension of the previously proposed techniques also based on the simple statistics. In this paper we introduce the method of structural break point detection which is based on the Adaptive Regression Splines technique, one of the form of regression analysis. Moreover we propose also the statistical test which allows testing hypothesis of behaviour related to different regimes. First, the methodology we apply to the simulated signals with different distributions in order to show the effectiveness of the new technique. Next, in the application part we analyse the real data set that represents the vibration signal from a heavy duty crusher used in a mineral processing plant.

“…Secondly, data distributions within segments are modeled with smoothed histograms to visually observe the differences between the classes. In this work segmentation has been done manually, however in future work we plan to do segmentation automatically [1,2,[12][13][14].…”

A Machine Learning Approach for Gearbox System Fault Diagnosis

“…The self-adaptive noise cancellation method with nonlinear adaptive filter using a kernel least mean squares algorithm was presented in [26]. Another approach that is based on the adaptive regression splines method and trend change detection was presented in [27]. In [28], the authors proposed a new impulse energy indicator.…”

Combination of Principal Component Analysis and Time‐Frequency Representation for P‐Wave Arrival Detection

“…us, in order to acquire onset time, it seems to be reasonable to utilize tools used to solve the isometric problems. e exemplary algorithms solving these parallel issues have been included in the following articles [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. As one might see, the segmentation problem is a fundamental task in the signal processing, and it might be applied to various types of signals.…”
