Abstract

Motivated by a highly dynamic hydrological high-frequency time series, we propose time-varying Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) as a novel approach for the analysis of non-stationary Functional Time Series (FTS) in the frequency domain. Traditional FPCA does not take into account (i) the temporal dependence between the functional observations and (ii) the changes in the covariance/variability structure over time, which could result in inadequate dimension reduction. The novel time-varying FPCA proposed adapts to the changes in the auto-covariance structure and varies smoothly over frequency and time to allow investigation of whether and how the variability structure in an FTS changes over time. Based on the (smooth) time-varying dynamic FPCs, a bootstrap inference procedure is proposed to detect significant changes in the covariance structure over time. Although this time-varying dynamic FPCA can be applied to any dynamic FTS, it has been applied here to study the daily processes of partial pressure of CO2 in a small river catchment in Scotland.
