This paper develops a new nonparametric method that is suitable for detecting slowly-varying nonstationarities that can be seen as trends in the time marginal of the time-varying spectrum of the signal. The rationale behind the proposed method is to measure the importance of the trend in the time marginal by using a proper test statistic, and further compare this measurement with the ones that are...
Although the empirical mode decomposition is a powerful tool for analyzing complicated datasets, many irrelevant intrinsic mode functions may appear in the decomposition. In this paper, we develop an energy-based method to detect relevant intrinsic mode functions. The new method can be seen as a generalization of techniques that are based on correlation. An experimental study is carried out in different...
In this manuscript, we propose a novel nonparametric test for nonstationarities that are seen as a trend or an evolution in the local energy of the signal. The idea of the proposed technique consists in applying empirical mode decomposition for estimating and further quantifying the trend in the time marginal of the estimated time-frequency representation. Such methodology allows for the detection...
In some recent applications, researchers have been facing old problems of the time-domain synthesis, like the necessity of having circuits providing particular temporal responses. In this paper, we show that a recent method suitable to approximate functions with symmetric impulse response, and other one to obtain pulses with finite duration, actually refers to the same function. Hence, it allows us...
Recently, a time-frequency approach for testing stationarity was proposed. However, this method inefficiently detects nonstationarities of the first-order. Here, we present two contributions that improve the test performance and allow the detection of first-order evolutions. The first one is to use an adequate distance measure. The second is a modification of the method in order to consider the spectral...
