Abstract
En 中文
The problem of estimating underlying trends in time series data arises in a variety of disciplines. In this paper we propose a variation on Hodrick-Prescott (H-P) filtering, a widely used method for trend estimation. The proposed l(1) trend filtering method substitutes a sum of absolute values (i.e., l(1) norm) for the sum of squares used in H-P filtering to penalize variations in the estimated trend. The l(1) trend filtering method produces trend estimates that are piecewise linear, and therefore it is well suited to analyzing time series with an underlying piecewise linear trend. The kinks, knots, or changes in slope of the estimated trend can be interpreted as abrupt changes or events in the underlying dynamics of the time series. Using specialized interior-point methods, l(1) trend filtering can be carried out with not much more effort than H-P filtering; in particular, the number of arithmetic operations required grows linearly with the number of data points. We describe the method and some of its basic properties and give some illustrative examples. We show how the method is related to l(1) regularization-based methods in sparse signal recovery and feature selection, and we list some extensions of the basic method.
