This study introduces a new method to detect nonlinearity in time series, even with long-term trends. The algorithm tests if irregular fluctuations stem from a stationary linear system.

Area of Science:

  • Time series analysis
  • Nonlinear dynamics
  • Statistical modeling

Background:

  • Investigating nonlinearity in time series is crucial for understanding complex systems.
  • Existing methods often fail when time series exhibit both short-term variability and long-term trends (periodicities).
  • This limitation hinders the analysis of many real-world datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for detecting nonlinearity in irregular fluctuations of time series.
  • To address the challenge posed by the presence of long-term trends (periodicities) in the data.
  • To provide a robust tool for analyzing time series where previous methods are inapplicable.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed algorithm investigates nonlinearity in short-term variability.

  • It is designed to function effectively even when long-term trends (periodicities) are present.
  • The core of the method involves testing the null hypothesis that irregular fluctuations originate from a stationary linear system.

    • Main Results:

    • The method's efficacy was demonstrated using numerical data from known systems.
    • It was successfully applied to analyze several real-world time series.
    • The results confirm the method's capability to identify nonlinearity under challenging conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • A new, robust method for nonlinearity detection in time series has been established.
    • This approach overcomes limitations of previous methods by handling long-term trends.
    • The technique offers a valuable tool for analyzing complex systems exhibiting both regular and irregular dynamics.
