This page collects information on data analysis techniques used in fusion research.

Temporal analysis

Linear analysis

Non-linear analysis

Self-similarity

Causality

  • Causality detection[5]: the determination of a causal interaction between two fluctuating variables, based on, e.g., the Transfer Entropy

Spatial analysis

Most of the techniques listed under 'temporal analysis' can of course be applied to spatial data.

Spatio-temporal analysis

Image analysis

  • Twodimensional Fourier analysis
  • Twodimensional wavelet analysis
  • Event detection using thresholding
  • Optical flow (for movies)

Integrated data analysis

The goal of integrated data analysis is to combine the information from a set of diagnostics providing complementary information in order to recover the best possible reconstruction of the actual state of the system subjected to measurement.
