Interactive analysis of gappy bivariate time series using AGSS
Abstract
Bivariate time series which display nonstationary behavior, such as cycles or long-term trends, are common in fields such as oceanography and meteorology. These are usually very large-scale data sets and often may contain long gaps of missing values in one or both series, with the gaps perhaps occurring at different time periods in the two series. We present a simplified but effective method of interactively examining and filling in the missing values in such series using extensions of the methods available in AGSS, an APL2-based statistical software package. Our method allows for possible detrending and removal of seasonal components before automatically estimating arbitrary patterns of missing values for each series. Interactive bivariate spectral analysis can then be performed on the detrended and deseasonalized interpolated data if desired. We illustrate our results using a bivariate time series of ocean current velocities measured off the California coast. Time series; interpolation; bivariate

A bivariate first order autoregressive time series model in exponential variables (BEAR (1))
Dewald, Lee S.; McKenzie, Edward; Lewis, Peter A.W.; McKenzie, Ed (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1986-10); NPS-55-86-019A simple time series model for bivariate exponential variables having first-order auto-regressive structure is presented. The linear random coefficient difference equation model is an adaptation of the New Exponential ... -
Investigation of effect due to correlation between components on system reliability
Ayers, David R.; Schwarz, Ira N. (Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1963);System reliability estimates are generally made using a model which assumes independence between components, and results are often claimed to be conservative. For a two component serial system bivariate distributions ... -
An approximation for computing reduction in bandwidth requirements using intelligent multiplexers
Henson, Lesley Jeanne Painchaud (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-03);This paper stochastically models a single-node telecommunications system both with and without the use of intelligent multiplexing. Intelligent multiplexers take advantage of the idle periods or silences that occur during ...
