Cycle Romand de Statistique, 2009 September 2009 Ovronnaz, Switzerland Random trajectories: some theory and applications Lecture 2 David R. Brillinger University of California, Berkeley 2 1
Lecture 2: Inference methods and some results Lecture 1 provided motivating examples This lecture presents analyses EDA and CDA (Stefan)
The Chandler wobble. Chandler inferred the presence of 12 and approx 14 months components in the wobble. Serious concern to scientists and at the end of the 1800s Network of stations set up to collect North Star coordinates Data would provide information on the interior structure of the Earth
Monthly data, t = 1 month. Work with complex-values, Z(t) = X(t) + iY(t). Compute the location differences, Z(t), and then the finite FT dZT() = t=0T-1 exp {-it}[Z(t+1)-Z(t)] Periodogram IZZT() = (2T)-1|dZT()|2
Model. Arato, Kolmogorov, Sinai, (1962) set down the SDE dX = - Xdt - Ydt + dB dY = Xdt - Ydt + dC Z = X + iY = B + iC General stimulus dZ = - Zdt + d = - i Adding measurement noise, the power spectrum is |i + |-2f()+2|1-exp{-i}|2/2 But what is the source of ? Source of 12 mo, 14 mo
If series stationary, mixing periodograms, Is at = 2s/T approximately independent exponentials parameter fs Suggesting estimation criterion (quasi-likelihood) L = s fs-1 exp{-Is/fs} and approximate standard errors Gaussian estimation, Whittle method
Discussion. Perhaps nonlinearity Looked for association with earthquakes, atmospheric pressure by filtering at Chandler frequency. None apparent Mystery "solved" by modern data and models. Using 1985 to 1996 data, R. S. Gross (NASA) concluded two thirds of wobble caused by changes in ocean-bottom water pressure, one-third by changes in atmospheric pressure. NASA interested. One of the biggest sources of uncertainty in navigating interplanetary spacecraft is not knowing Earth's rotation changes.

Discussion and summary. Time spent foraging in Penguin Bank appeared constrained by a terrestrial atractor (haulout spot – safety?). Seal spent more time offshore than thought previously EDA robust/resistant methods basic
Brownian motor. Kinesin A two-headed motor protein that powers organelle transport along microtubules. Biophycist's question. "Do motor proteins actually make steps?" Hunt for the periodic positions at which a motor might dwell Data via optical instrumentation

Prewhitened for greater sensitivity. Robust line fitted to Z(t) Periodogram of residuals Robust line fit to log(periodogram) at low frequencies and subtracted Averaged results for several microtubules To assess simulated various gamma distributions

Discussion and summary. "Malik et al (1994) were able to rule out large, regular (that is, strictly periodic) steps for kinesin movement along microtubules (for > 12 nm) and argued they would not have been able to detect smaller steps (say 8 nm or less) unless the motions were highly regular (quasi periodic), with the step-to-step interval varying by less than 20%" Since then Brownian motion has been reduced revealing steps
