Similarity estimators for irregular and age-uncertain time series

Abstract: Abstract. Paleoclimate time series are often irregularly sampled and age uncertain, which is an important technical challenge to overcome for successful reconstruction of past climate variability and dynamics. Visual comparison and interpolation-based linear correlation approaches have been used to infer dependencies from such proxy time series. While the first is subjective, not measurable and not suitable for the comparison of many data sets at a time, the latter introduces interpolation bias, and both face … Show more

“…This results in a bandpassed time series from which a timescale-dependent Pearson correlation can be estimated robustly against irregular sampling of the time series [32]. Significance testing is based on 2000 Monte Carlo simulations using AR1 surrogates with the lag-1 autocorrelation estimated from the f low -detrended proxy time series, and with the original temporal sampling [32]. In a first screening step the original time series had to overlap with more than 50 samples.…”

“…Even though the proxy record is a derived measurement, it is still, in its essence, a measurement, and the representation of any measured quantity without an uncertainty (error) of measurement can lead to misleading conclusions. For instance, the assessment of correlations between data sets can be dramatically influenced by whether or not the uncertainty of the data is properly represented (see Rehfeld and Kurths, 2014;Heitzig, 2013, Intro. ).…”
