Abstract

Defining “clusters” in a time series data is a ubiquitous issue in many engineering problems. We propose an analytical framework for resolving this issue focusing on streamflow time series data. We use an affine jump process and define the number of clusters as the number of specific jumps having jump sizes larger than a prescribed threshold value. Our definition is not only analytically tractable, but also provides a physically-consistent cluster decomposition formula of streamflow time series. Statistical dependence of clusters on the threshold value is analyzed by using real data. We argue transferability of the analysis results to modeling clustered arrivals of water quality load and migratory fish.
