Multiple Time Series News Today

Finding a fault in the power grid of a country can be like attempting to locate a needle in a huge haystack.

We present the AdaptSPEC-X method for the joint analysis of a panel of possibly nonstationary time series. The approach is Bayesian and uses a covariate-dependent infinite mixture model to incorporate multiple time series, with mixture components parameterized by a time-varying mean and log spectrum. The mixture components are based on AdaptSPEC, a nonparametric model which adaptively divides the time series into an unknown number of segments and estimates the local log spectra by smoothing spli...
