New method matches correlated VAR time series databases

Researchers have developed a new method for matching correlated Vector Autoregressive (VAR) time series databases. The approach introduces a probabilistic framework to recover hidden permutations between two time series, generalizing the problem of matching point clouds to time series. The study derives a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and analyzes an estimator based on linear assignment, providing recovery guarantees based on noise thresholds. Additionally, the paper proposes using convex relaxations of permutation matrices, such as the Birkhoff polytope, to efficiently estimate parameters via alternating minimization, with empirical results showing linear assignment often performs comparably or better than MLE relaxation methods.

    Matching correlated VAR time series

    arXiv:2511.18553v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of matching correlated VAR time series databases, where a multivariate time series is observed along with a perturbed and permuted version, and the goal is to recover the unknown matching between them.…
