Hi Jorge,
To understand the modes of variability in a time series, you can use Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to break it down into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), with each IMF representing a different mode of variability. While the emd function does not directly provide the variance explained by each mode, it can be calculated manually.
Here’s a clear way to approach this:
- Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD): Use the emd function to decompose your time series into IMFs.
- Variance Calculation: Compute the variance of each IMF and compare it to the total variance of the time series to determine how much each mode contributes.
- Spectral Analysis: Perform a Fourier Transform on each IMF to explore its frequency components.
Here' an example in MATLAB:
% Example time series data
time_series = randn(1000, 1);
% Perform EMD
imfs = emd(time_series);
% Calculate total variance
total_variance = var(time_series);
% Calculate variance explained by each mode (IMF)
variance_explained = var(imfs, 0, 1) / total_variance * 100;
% Display variance explained by each mode
for i = 1:length(variance_explained)
fprintf('Mode %d explains %.2f%% of the variance\n', i, variance_explained(i));
end
% Perform spectral analysis using FFT
for i = 1:size(imfs, 2)
Y = fft(imfs(:, i));
P2 = abs(Y/length(time_series));
P1 = P2(1:length(time_series)/2+1);
P1(2:end-1) = 2*P1(2:end-1);
f = (0:(length(time_series)/2))/length(time_series);
figure;
plot(f, P1);

xlabel('Frequency');
ylabel('|P1(f)|');
end
