Key research themes

1. How can frequency domain methods characterize long-term cycles in economic growth data?

This research area focuses on applying and comparing frequency domain techniques, including spectral analysis, wavelet transforms, and empirical mode decomposition, to analyze cyclical patterns in macroeconomic growth data, particularly US real GNP. The aim is to evaluate the existence, duration, and strength of economic growth cycles beyond standard short business cycles, addressing issues of non-stationarity and the validity of the classical 'typical' spectral shape hypothesis first proposed by Granger.

Key finding: Using recent frequency domain methods such as discrete and continuous wavelet analysis and empirical mode decomposition on US real GNP data, the study finds no support for the classical 'typical' spectral shape implying... Read more
Key finding: By employing polynomial orthogonal expansions, specifically Legendre series, as an alternative to Fourier-based spectral methods, the authors developed trend curves acting as low-pass filters for non-periodic or... Read more

2. How does spectral analysis assist in predicting epidemic outbreak periodicities within time series data?

This theme investigates the applicability of spectral methods, especially Fourier analysis and its fast computational variant FFT, to epidemiological time series data for infectious diseases such as COVID-19. The research examines how smoothing techniques coupled with spectral analysis can reveal underlying periodicities in case numbers, to forecast future waves and assess temporal dynamics, especially useful given the nonlinear growth and complex transmission characteristics of pandemics.

Key finding: By applying a 7-day moving average smoothing to COVID-19 infection data from Tabasco, Mexico, followed by Fast Fourier Transform analysis, the authors identified significant underlying frequencies corresponding to periodic... Read more

3. What are the advanced spectral analysis techniques and their applications for atmospheric and environmental variability monitoring?

This research area explores innovative spectral and wave amplitude indices developed for characterizing low-frequency atmospheric variability modes, planetary wave amplitudes, and environmental spectral indices from remote sensing data. These methods assist in modeling complex nonlinear, non-stationary climatic processes and spatially heterogeneous environmental changes, aiding in the interpretation and monitoring of phenomena such as blocking patterns, urban built-up land detection, land-surface temperature, and vegetative dynamics using satellite imagery.

Key finding: Through probabilistic analysis of the wave amplitude index (WAI) derived from Northern Hemisphere winter geopotential heights, this study found that hemispheric planetary-wave activity modes modulate both the mean and... Read more
Key finding: By integrating multispectral and panchromatic Landsat satellite images, the authors introduced a novel spectral index combining blue band and shortwave infrared data (VbSWIR1-BI) and compared it with six existing indices for... Read more
Key finding: Using multi-decadal Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS data, the authors applied key spectral indices (NDVI, NDBI, NDWI) to quantify spatiotemporal changes in vegetation, urbanization, and water bodies in Far Western Nepal.... Read more
