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)

其他回答

这是一个修改后的Fortran版本的z-score算法。 它是专门针对频率空间中传递函数的峰值(共振)检测进行修改的(每个更改在代码中都有一个小注释)。

如果在输入向量的下界附近存在共振,则第一个修改会向用户发出警告,该共振由高于某个阈值的标准偏差表示(在本例中为10%)。这仅仅意味着信号不够平坦,不足以使检测正确地初始化滤波器。

第二种修改是只将峰值的最大值添加到已找到的峰值中。这是通过将每个发现的峰值与其(滞后)前辈及其(滞后)后继者的大小进行比较来达到的。

第三个变化是尊重共振峰通常在共振频率周围表现出某种形式的对称性。因此,围绕当前数据点对称地计算平均值和std是很自然的(而不仅仅是针对之前的数据点)。这将导致更好的峰值检测行为。

这些修改的效果是,整个信号必须事先被函数知道,这是共振检测的通常情况(类似于Jean-Paul的Matlab示例,其中数据点是动态生成的,这是行不通的)。

对于我的应用程序,算法的工作就像一个魅力!

我为Jean-Paul最受欢迎的答案写了一个Go包。它假设y值的类型为float64。

github.com/MicahParks/peakdetect

下面的示例使用了这个包,并基于上面提到的流行答案中的R示例。它在编译时没有任何依赖关系,试图保持较低的内存占用,并且在有新数据点进入时不重新处理过去的点。该项目有100%的测试覆盖率,主要来自上述R示例的输入和输出。但是,如果有人发现任何错误,请打开一个GitHub问题。

编辑:我对v0.0.5进行了性能改进,似乎快了10倍!它使用Welford的方法进行初始化,并使用类似的方法计算滞后期(滑动窗口)的平均值和总体标准偏差。特别感谢另一个帖子的回答:https://stackoverflow.com/a/14638138/14797322

下面是基于R例子的Golang例子:

    }

    // This method, .NextBatch(), is a helper function for processing many data points at once. It's returned slice

我认为delica的Python回答器有一个bug。我不能评论他的帖子,因为我没有代表来做这件事,编辑队列已经满了,所以我可能不是第一个注意到它的人。

avgFilter[lag - 1]和stdFilter[lag - 1]在init中设置,然后在lag == i时再次设置,而不是改变[lag]值。这个结果使得第一个信号总是1。

以下是带有轻微修正的代码:

    def thresholding_algo(self, new_value):
        self.y.append(new_value)
        i = len(self.y) - 1
        self.length = len(self.y)
        if i < self.lag:
            return 0

            self.stdFilter[self.lag] = np.std(self.y[0:self.lag]).tolist()
            return 0

        self.signals += [0]
        self.filteredY += [0]
        self.avgFilter += [0]
        self.stdFilter += [0]

            if self.y[i] > self.avgFilter[i - 1]:
                self.signals[i] = 1
            else:
                self.signals[i] = -1

            self.filteredY[i] = self.influence * self.y[i] + (1 - self.influence) * self.filteredY[i - 1]
            self.avgFilter[i] = np.mean(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])
            self.stdFilter[i] = np.std(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])
        else:
            self.signals[i] = 0
            self.filteredY[i] = self.y[i]
            self.avgFilter[i] = np.mean(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])
            self.stdFilter[i] = np.std(self.filteredY[(i - self.lag):i])

在Palshikar(2009)中发现了另一个算法:

Palshikar, G.(2009)。时间序列中峰值检测的简单算法。在Proc. 1st Int。高级数据分析,商业分析和智能(卷122)。

论文可以从这里下载。

算法是这样的:

algorithm peak1 // one peak detection algorithms that uses peak function S1 

input T = x1, x2, …, xN, N // input time-series of N points 
input k // window size around the peak 
input h // typically 1 <= h <= 3 
output O // set of peaks detected in T 

begin 
O = empty set // initially empty 

    for (i = 1; i < n; i++) do
        // compute peak function value for each of the N points in T 
        a[i] = S1(k,i,xi,T); 
    end for 

    Compute the mean m' and standard deviation s' of all positive values in array a; 

    for (i = 1; i < n; i++) do // remove local peaks which are “small” in global context 
        if (a[i] > 0 && (a[i] – m') >( h * s')) then O = O + {xi}; 
        end if 
    end for 

    Order peaks in O in terms of increasing index in T 

    // retain only one peak out of any set of peaks within distance k of each other 

    for every adjacent pair of peaks xi and xj in O do 
        if |j – i| <= k then remove the smaller value of {xi, xj} from O 
        end if 
    end for 
end

优势

本文提出了5种不同的峰值检测算法 算法在原始时间序列数据上工作(不需要平滑)

缺点

很难事先确定k和h 峰不能是平的(就像我测试数据中的第三个峰)
