This study introduces a numerical algorithm to detect and quantify noise in time series data using phase-randomized surrogates. The developed metrics effectively assess signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) across different noise levels.

Area of Science:

  • Signal processing
  • Time series analysis
  • Statistical signal detection

Background:

  • Time series data are ubiquitous in scientific research.
  • Assessing the integrity of time series data, particularly the extent of noise corruption, is crucial for reliable analysis.
  • Existing methods may lack robustness or quantitative precision in noise estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a numerical algorithm for estimating noise corruption in time series.
  • To introduce quantifiable metrics for assessing noise levels.
  • To establish the relationship between these metrics and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

Main Methods:

  • Construction of phase-randomized surrogate time series from the original signal.
  • Definition of novel metrics based on these surrogates.

  • Evaluation of metric behavior across a range of known signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed metrics show a monotonic transition between SNR levels of approximately 0 dB and 20 dB.
    • Metric values saturate at very low (≤ 0 dB) and very high (≥ 20 dB) SNRs.
    • The algorithm provides a quantitative estimation of noise corruption extent.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed numerical algorithm and associated metrics offer a reliable method for noise estimation in time series.
    • The observed metric behavior provides a clear indication of noise levels relative to signal strength.
    • This approach enhances the trustworthiness of time series analyses by quantifying data quality.
