Inferring stochastic dynamics from functional data
从函数型数据推断随机动态
In most current data modelling for time-dynamic systems, one works with a prespecified differential equation and attempts to estimate its parameters. In contrast, we demonstrate that in the case of functional data, the equation itself can be inferred. Assuming only that the dynamics are described by a first-order nonlinear differential equation with a random component, we obtain data-adaptive dynamic equations from the observed data via a simple smoothing-based procedure. We…
