Statistical Modelling under the Non Stationary assumptions

Statistical Modelling under the Non Stationary assumptions#

We now explore two approaches to statistical modelling for time series that exhibit trends or patterns.

In the first approach, i.e., detrending approach, we separate the deterministic and stochastic components and develop a statistical model only for the stochastic component. In the second approach, i.e., integrated approach, the deterministic component is incorporated directly into the statistical model. We apply the latter approach to extreme value analysis and review examples from the scientific literature.
