Period estimation in astronomical time series using slotted correntropy
IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 2011•ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter, we propose a method for period estimation in light curves from periodic variable
stars using correntropy. Light curves are astronomical time series of stellar brightness over
time, and are characterized as being noisy and unevenly sampled. We propose to use
slotted time lags in order to estimate correntropy directly from irregularly sampled time
series. A new information theoretic metric is proposed for discriminating among the peaks of
the correntropy spectral density. The slotted correntropy method outperformed slotted …

In this letter, we propose a method for period estimation in light curves from periodic variable stars using correntropy. Light curves are astronomical time series of stellar brightness over time, and are characterized as being noisy and unevenly sampled. We propose to use slotted time lags in order to estimate correntropy directly from irregularly sampled time series. A new information theoretic metric is proposed for discriminating among the peaks of the correntropy spectral density. The slotted correntropy method outperformed slotted correlation, string length, VarTools (Lomb-Scargle periodogram and Analysis of Variance), and SigSpec applications on a set of light curves drawn from the MACHO survey.
