Abstract With technological developments, it has become possible to collect and model large amounts of data produced over time. These data are typically generated by industrial processes, human operations or natural phenomena. By modeling them, we can understand, predict and observe their changes as well as control them. Overall, these data are formed by deterministic and stochastic components. When modeling such data by considering only one of the components, we can draw incomplete or erroneous conclusions. The ideal scenario relies on both approaches, each one applied on its respective influence, i.e., by employing Statistical tools on the stochastic component, and Dynamical System tools on the deterministic one. This requires the decomposition of time series into two influences. Current decomposition approaches lack in terms of the type of series they can model as well as the bias they impose in the decomposition step. Consequently, they produce incorrect deterministic components, jeopardizing modeling and prediction results. In this context, this PhD project is proposed to employ concepts of mathematical topology to preserve the deterministic influences of time series during decomposition. Therefore, we expect to improve time series modeling and prediction. This proposal will be compared against the most prominent from literature. (AU) | |
