  1. MNFT : Robust detection of slow nonstationarity in LIGO Science data Soma Mukherjee Max Planck Institut fuer Gravitationsphysik Germany. LSC Meeting, Livingston, LA, March 17-20, 2003 LIGO-G030052-00-Z

  2. Soma Mukherjee, 20/3/03Why : • Interferometric data has three components : Lines, transients, noise floor. • Study of a change in any one of these without elimination of the other two will cause interference. • Lines dominate. • Presence of transients change the central tendency. • “SLOW” nonstationarity of noise floor interesting in the analysis of several astrophysical searches, e.g. Externally triggered search. • To be able to simulate the non-stationarity to test the efficiencies of various algorithms.

  3. Soma Mukherjee, 20/3/03Method : • MNFT : • Bandpass and resample given timeseries x(k). • Construct FIR filter than whitens the noise floor. Resulting timeseries : w(k) • Remove lines using notch filter. Cleaned timeseries : c(k) • Track variation in second moment of c(k) using Running Median*. • Obtain significance levels of the sampling distribution via Monte Carlo simulations. * Mohanty S.D., 2002, CQG

  4. Soma Mukherjee 20/3/03Sequence : Design FIR Whitening filter. Whiten data. Estimate spectral noise floor using Running Median Low pass and resample Clean lines. Highpass. Thresholds set by Simulation. Compute Running Median of the squared timeseries.

  5. Soma Mukherjee, 20/3/03Data : Locked segments from : • LIGO S1 : L1 and H2 • LIGO S2 : L1 and H1
