Temporal Seam Score for Assessing Continuity at Known Transitions in Time Series
评估时间序列已知转换点连续性的时间接缝分数
Long environmental records increasingly combine observations from successive observing or processing systems. Transitions between these systems create temporal seams that may reflect imperfect harmonization or changes in the observed process. We introduce the Temporal Seam Score (S-score, or S), a signed, robust measure for assessing continuity at a known transition time. The complete time series is fitted with a seam-blind model accounting for trend, seasonality, and…
