Piecewise linear models, in which a linear sub-model is associated with each region of a state-space decomposition, have been proposed as an attractive alternative to threshold autoregressive models. However, it is still unclear how this type of models can be actually estimated. We show how a new combinatorial optimization approach, which we devised for the general problem of piecewise linear model estimation, can be successfully applied to piecewise linear modeling of time series. The idea is to focus on the inconsistent linear system that arises when considering a simple linear model and to partition it into a minimum number of consistent subsystems (MIN PCS). Although the resulting problem (MIN PCS) is NP-hard, satisfactory approximate solutions can be obtained using simple variants of the perceptron algorithm studied in the artificial neural network literature. Simulation results for two well-known chaotic time series are reported.","PeriodicalId":131323,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128347425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The features of these transformations are very close to the well known transformation of Fourier, observe the theorem of time-frequency duality and permit realization of error free calculation of spectra. In cases when powers of 2 are used as twiddle factors, this transformation is known as the number theoretic transform (NTT).

It is shown that by using a temporal prediction coefficient slightly less than one, large improvements can be achieved with only a small degradation for the noiseless case. The performance of the proposed system is comparable to a reference system based on the H.263 video coder for high CSNR values, and degrades far more gracefully for low CSNR values.","PeriodicalId":131323,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE Digital Signal Processing Workshop Proceedings","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134338523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
