AR and TVAR Time Series Modelling and Decompositions
- Stationary and Nonstationary/Time-Frequency Analysis -

(last updates: July 2018)

Matlab code for fitting, analysis and exploration of time series using autoregressive (AR) and time-varying autoregressive (TVAR) models. In addition to model specification, selection and assessment, the software develops time series decompositions to explore underlying latent component structure in observed data -- a general and flexible time-domain approach to "time:frequency" decompositions to elucidate patterns of change over time in frequency structure of stationary and nonstationary series.

Download: Zipped folder with code, utilities and data.

Usage: The Matlab routines are free-standing. The folder includes three examples using time series from neuroscience (EEG) and climatology (SOI), illustrating (i) Bayesian model fitting and selection, (ii) Bayesian inference on underling latent structure via time series decompositions; and (iii) prediction via generation of synthetic futures.
