Detection of possible inhomogeneity within a series is an important problem in time series data. There are many sources from which inhomogeneity can be originated such as mean shift, variance and trend change, gradual change, or sudden decrease or increase in time series. Since time series has many application areas, the detection of changepoints should be investigated before conducting any analysis. Available methods have certain drawbacks that may lead to unreliable inferences. These include the need of independent and identically distributed variables or normality assumption of observations whose validation may not be possible for dependent data or need of highly correlated reference series. In this thesis, a computational approach is proposed to obtain an absolute test to detect whether data is homogeneous or not. For this purpose, likelihood ratio test for mean shift for AR(1) models is considered and then, moving block bootstrap is used to detect the breakpoints especially close to the beginning or end of the series. In order to derive the related test statistic, exact likelihood is used and the critical values of the test statistic is obtained by a simulation study for different sample sizes and an appropriate length of blocks is suggested to detect changepoints. Then, the performance of the proposed method is compared with the best performing tests in the literature. The comparison study and real life applications reveal that the proposed method performs better than the methods in the literature.

A temporal neuro-fuzzy approach for time-series analysis Yılmaz (Şişman), Nuran Arzu; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) The subject of this thesis is to develop a temporal neuro-fuzzy system for fore- casting the future behavior of a multivariate time series data. The system has two components combined by means of a system interface. First, a rule extraction method is designed which is named Fuzzy MAR (Multivari- ate Auto-regression). The method produces the temporal relationships between each of the variables and past values of all variables in the multivariate time series system in the form of fuzzy rules. These rules may ...
A comparative stationarity analysis of EEG signals RASOULZADEH, VESAL; Erkuş, Ekin Can; Yoğurt, Taha Alper; Ulusoy, İlkay; Zergeroglu, S. Aykan (2017-11-01) While developing models of brain functioning by using time series data, the stationary interval of the time series should be used to model the corresponding state of the brain. Here it is assumed that at the borders of stationarity, brain changes its state where a state is considered as a group of brain regions working together. If the whole nonstationary time series is used, many different brain states could be included in one model. However, it is very hard to decide the stationary intervals for such a co...
The effect of temporal aggregation on univariate time series analysis Sarıaslan, Nazlı; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2010) Most of the time series are constructed by some kind of aggregation and temporal aggregation that can be defined as aggregation over consecutive time periods. Temporal aggregation takes an important role in time series analysis since the choice of time unit clearly influences the type of model and forecast results. A totally different time series model can be fitted on the same variable over different time periods. In this thesis, the effect of temporal aggregation on univariate time series models is studie...
A Window-based characterization method for biophysical time series Katırcıoğlu, Deniz; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Medical Informatics (2017) In thesis, we propose a robust similarity score-based time series characterization method, termed as Window-based Time series Characterization (WTC). Specifically, WTC generates domain-interpretable results and involves remarkably low computational complexity thereby rendering itself useful for densely sampled and populated time series datasets. In this study, we apply WTC to a proprietary action potential (AP) time series dataset on human cardiomyocytes and three precordial leads from a publicly available ...
Representation of Multiplicative Seasonal Vector Autoregressive Moving Average Models Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-11-01) Time series often contain observations of several variables and multivariate time series models are used to represent the relationship between these variables. There are many studies on vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) models, but the representation of multiplicative seasonal VARMA models has not been seriously studied. In a multiplicative vector model, such as a seasonal VARMA model, the representation is not unique because of the noncommutative property of matrix multiplication. In this articl...
