Theoretical Foundations • Intermittency test, though ameliorates the mode mixing, destroys the adaptive nature of EMD. • The EMD study of white noise guarantees a uniformed frame of scales. • The cancellation of white noise with sufficient number of ensemble.
Theoretical Background I Intermittency
Sifting with Intermittence Test • To avoid mode mixing, we have to institute a special criterion to separate oscillation of different time scales into different IMF components. • The criteria is to select time scale so that oscillations with time scale longer than this pre-selected criterion is not included in the IMF.
Observations • Intermittency test ameliorates the mode mixing considerably. • Intermittency test requires a set of subjective criteria. • EMD with intermittency is no longer totally adaptive. • For complicated data, the subjective criteria are hard, or impossible, to determine.
Effects of EMD (Sifting) • To separate data into components of similar scale. • To eliminate ridding waves. • To make the results symmetric with respect to the x-axis and the amplitude more even. • Note: The first two are necessary for valid IMF, the last effect actually cause the IMF to lost its intrinsic properties.
Theoretical Background II A Study of White Noise
Wu, Zhaohua and N. E. Huang, 2004: A Study of the Characteristics of White Noise Using the Empirical Mode Decomposition Method, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London , A 460, 1597-1611.
Methodology • Based on observations from Monte Carlo numerical experiments on 1 million white noise data points. • All IMF generated by 10 siftings. • Fourier spectra based on 200 realizations of 4,000 data points sections. • Probability density based on 50,000 data points data sections.

Empirical Observation: Histograms IMFs By Central Limit theory IMF should be normally distributed.
Fundamental Theorem of Probability • If we know the density function of a random variable, x, then we can express the density function of any random variable, y, for a given y=g(x). The procedure is as follows:
Fundamental Theorem of Probability • If we know the density function of a random variable, x, is normal, then x-square should be
DEGREE OF FREEDOM • Random samples of length N contains N degree of freedom • Each Fourier component contains one degree of freedom • For EMD, the shares of DOF is proportional to its share of energy; therefore, the degree of freedom for each IMF is given as
CHI SQUARE-DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY chi-square dist.
Formula of Confidence Limit for IMF Distributions IV For a Gaussian distribution, it is often to relate α to the standard deviation, σ , i.e., α confidence level corresponds to k σ, where k varies with α. For example, having values -2.326, -0.675, -0.0, 0.675, and 2.326 for the first, 25th, 50th, 75th and 99th percentiles (with α being 0.01, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.99), respectively.

Summary • Not all IMF have the same statistical significance. • Based on the white noise study, we have established a method to determine the statistical significant components. • References: • Wu, Zhaohua and N.

Observations The white noise signal consists of signal of all scales. EMD separates the scale dyadically. The white noise provide a uniformly distributed frame of scales through EMD.

Theoretical Background III Effects of adding White Noise
Some Preliminary • Robert John Gledhill, 2003: Methods for Investigating Conformational Change in Biomolecular Simulations, University of Southampton, Department of Chemistry, Ph D Thesis. • He investigated the effect of added noise as a tool for checking the stability of EMD.
Some Preliminary • His basic assumption is that the correct result is the one without noise:
