$\ell_1$ Trend Filtering

Kim, Seung-Jean, Koh, Kwangmoo, Boyd, Stephen, Gorinevsky, Dimitry·2009·SIAM Review

Abstract

The problem of estimating underlying trends in time series data arises in a variety of disciplines. In this paper we propose a variation on Hodrick–Prescott (H-P) filtering, a widely used method for trend estimation. The proposed $\ell_1$ trend filtering method substitutes a sum of absolute values (i.e., $\ell_1$ norm) for the sum of squares used in H-P filtering to penalize variations in the estimated trend. The $\ell_1$ trend filtering method produces trend estimates that are piecewise linear, and therefore it is well suited to analyzing time series with an underlying piecewise linear trend. The kinks, knots, or changes in slope of the estimated trend can be interpreted as abrupt changes or events in the underlying dynamics of the time series. Using specialized interior-point methods, $\ell_1$ trend filtering can be carried out with not much more effort than H-P filtering; in particular, the number of arithmetic operations required grows linearly with the number of data points. We describe the method and some of its basic properties and give some illustrative examples. We show how the method is related to $\ell_1$ regularization-based methods in sparse signal recovery and feature selection, and we list some extensions of the basic method.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
