In stochastic processes, chaos theory and time series analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a signal. It is useful for analysing time series that appear to be long-memory processes (diverging correlation time, e.g. power-law decaying autocorrelation function) or 1/f noise.
The spike-triggered averaging (STA) is a tool for characterizing the response properties of a neuron using the spikes emitted in response to a time-varying stimulus. The STA provides an estimate of a neuron's linear receptive field. It is a useful technique for the analysis of electrophysiological data.
To apply this method, analysts prepare multiple solutions containing equal amounts of unknown and spike them with varying concentrations of the analyte. The amount of unknown and the total volume are the same across the standards and the only difference between the standards is the amount of analyte spiked.
Draw a bar-graph histogram with the bar-height of bin i given by in units of estimated spikes per second at time . The optimal bin size (assuming an underlying Poisson point process) Δ is a minimizer of the formula, (2k-v)/Δ 2 , where k and v are mean and variance of k i .
If M-score is less than -1.78, the company is unlikely to be a manipulator. For example, an M-score value of -2.50 suggests a low likelihood of manipulation. If M-score is greater than −1.78, the company is likely to be a manipulator. For example, an M-score value of -1.50 suggests a high likelihood of manipulation.
One or more spikes, rest are essentially zero (or close to zero) Moving average model, order identified by where plot becomes zero. Decay, starting after a few lags Mixed autoregressive and moving average model. All zero or close to zero Data are essentially random. High values at fixed intervals Include seasonal autoregressive term.
Spikes in blood sugar after eating (called postprandial spikes) are normal, but frequent, super-high spikes can cause oxidative stress and increase inflammation, which can lead to a host of health ...
Smoothing of a noisy sine (blue curve) with a moving average (red curve). In statistics, a moving average (rolling average or running average or moving mean [1] or rolling mean) is a calculation to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different selections of the full data set.
