On the Trend, Detrend and the Variability of Nonlinear and Nonstationary Time Series A new application of HHT
The State-of-the-Arts“One economist’s trend is another economist’s cycle” Engle, R. F. and Granger, C. W. J. 1991 Long-run Economic Relationships. Cambridge University Press. • Simple trend – straight line • Stochastic trend – straight line for each quarter

Definition of the Trend Within the given data span, the trend is an intrinsically fitted monotonic function, or a function in which there can be at most one extremum. The trend should be determined by the same mechanisms that generate the data; it should be an intrinsic and local property. Being intrinsic, the method for defining the trend has to be adaptive. The results should be intrinsic (objective); all traditional trend determination methods give extrinsic (subjective) results. Being local, it has to associate with a local length scale, and be valid only within that length span as a part of a full wave cycle.
Definition of Detrend and Variability Within the given data span, detrend is an operation to remove the trend. Within the given data span, the Variability is the residue of the data after the removal of the trend. As the trend should be intrinsic and local properties of the data; Detrend and Variability are also local properties. All traditional trend determination methods are extrinsic and/or subjective.
The Need for HHT HHT is an adaptive (local, intrinsic, and objective) method to find the intrinsic local properties of the given data set, therefore, it is ideal for defining the trend and variability.
