更新:到目前为止表现最好的算法是这个。


这个问题探讨了在实时时间序列数据中检测突然峰值的稳健算法。

考虑以下示例数据:

这个数据的例子是Matlab格式的(但这个问题不是关于语言,而是关于算法):

p = [1 1 1.1 1 0.9 1 1 1.1 1 0.9 1 1.1 1 1 0.9 1 1 1.1 1 1 1 1 1.1 0.9 1 1.1 1 1 0.9, ...
     1 1.1 1 1 1.1 1 0.8 0.9 1 1.2 0.9 1 1 1.1 1.2 1 1.5 1 3 2 5 3 2 1 1 1 0.9 1 1, ... 
     3 2.6 4 3 3.2 2 1 1 0.8 4 4 2 2.5 1 1 1];

你可以清楚地看到有三个大峰和一些小峰。这个数据集是问题所涉及的时间序列数据集类的一个特定示例。这类数据集有两个一般特征:

有一种具有一般平均值的基本噪声 有很大的“峰值”或“更高的数据点”明显偏离噪声。

让我们假设以下情况:

峰的宽度不能事先确定 峰的高度明显偏离其他值 算法实时更新(因此每个新数据点都会更新)

对于这种情况,需要构造一个触发信号的边值。但是,边界值不能是静态的,必须通过算法实时确定。


我的问题是:什么是实时计算这些阈值的好算法?有没有针对这种情况的特定算法?最著名的算法是什么?


健壮的算法或有用的见解都受到高度赞赏。(可以用任何语言回答:这是关于算法的)


当前回答

在信号处理中,峰值检测通常采用小波变换。基本上就是对时间序列数据进行离散小波变换。返回的细节系数中的过零将对应于时间序列信号中的峰值。你会在不同的细节系数水平上检测到不同的峰值振幅,这给了你多层次的分辨率。

我允许自己创建一个javascript版本。也许会有帮助。javascript应该是上面给出的伪代码的直接转录。可用的npm包和github repo:

下面是@Jean-Paul为Arduino微控制器设计的平滑z分数的C语言实现,用于获取加速度计读数,并判断撞击的方向是来自左边还是右边。这表现得非常好,因为这个设备返回一个反弹信号。这是设备对峰值检测算法的输入-显示了来自右边的冲击,然后是来自左边的冲击。你可以看到最初的峰值然后传感器的振荡。

不是很好,但这里的影响力= 1

这很好。

This problem looks similar to one I encountered in a hybrid/embedded systems course, but that was related to detecting faults when the input from a sensor is noisy. We used a Kalman filter to estimate/predict the hidden state of the system, then used statistical analysis to determine the likelihood that a fault had occurred. We were working with linear systems, but nonlinear variants exist. I remember the approach being surprisingly adaptive, but it required a model of the dynamics of the system.
