Detecting lags in nonlinear time series with PROC TSSELECTLAG in SAS Viya

Accurately identifying lag structures between related time series is essential in public health forecasting, particularly during epidemics where delays between infections and hospitalizations affect planning. Using a simulated SEIR model and SAS Viya’s PROC TSSELECTLAG, distance correlation is shown to outperform Pearson correlation by correctly identifying nonlinear lag relationships—such as the true seven-day lag between new infections and hospital admissions.

The Empirical Mode Decomposition for handling non-stationary time series

Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a powerful time-frequency analysis technique that allows for the decomposition of a non-stationary and non-linear signal into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The method was first introduced by Huang et al. in 1998 and has since been widely used in various fields, such as signal processing, image analysis, and biomedical engineering.

Improving the detection of level shifts using the median filter

Time series data is widely used in various fields, such as finance, economics, and engineering. One of the key challenges when working with time series data is detecting level shifts. A level shift occurs when the time series’ mean and/or variance changes abruptly. These shifts can significantly impact the analysis and forecasting of the time series and must be detected and handled properly.
