Predictions of a monthly temperature time series: adding noise to the predicted values

I am doing predictions on monthly temperature data for 100 years, from 1901 to 2000 (i.e 1200 data points). I want to know if the method I follow is correct because in my output, I do not see the ...

How to correctly model noise?

Assume a linear mixing model $x = As$, where $x = (x_{0}, ..., x_{n})^T$ are linear mixtures of $s = (s_{0}, ..., s_{n})^T$, and $A$ is the mixing matrix. Now, if I introduce additive noise to this ...

Pre-whitening of AR(2) time series

I'm working on a time-series problem. Consider the model below: $$Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1*t + \beta_2 * \sin(wt) + \beta_3 * \cos(wt) + \epsilon$$ For now, assume that $\epsilon$ is AR(2) with KNOWN ...

Random walk with drift are differences white noise?

If I have a random walk without drift the differences form a white noise process. But what happens if I incorporate a drift $d$? Does this still hold true? I'm not sure because with the drift term d: ...

Classification accuracy is better with noise added?

I'm making a system to classify 2 class motor-imagery EEG of human brain. I use simple Low Pass Filter to pre-process the data (with or without added noise). I'm using LDA as my classifier. To test ...

White noise for level, log and log differences data sets

I am using eviews 7 and I have 3 data sets for DAX stock market index: level (dax), log (ldax), and log differences (dldax). I need to check whether the error terms of these data sets are white noise ...

Statistical test for whether a process is a red noise

We know that red noise is the same as a first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) stationary Gaussian process with a positive correlation at unit lag. Does there exist some formal statistical test for red ...

Noise correlations depending on distance

If one has noise being generated over time $t\in[a,b]$, and the correlations of the value of the noise at times $t_0$ and $t_1$ turn out to be distributed according to a density function that depends ...

Testing normality and independence of time series residuals

The simplest form of a white noise process is where its observations are uncorrelated. We can check this by applying e.g. a portmanteau test such as Lung - Box or Box - Pierce. The series might be ...
