Singular Spectrum Analysis

Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) is a nonparametric method for time-series decomposition and forecasting based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of a time-lagged embedding matrix. Introduced by Broomhead and King (1986) and developed further by Vautard, Yiou, and Ghil (1992), SSA decomposes time series into trend, oscillatory, and noise components without assuming any underlying model. It is particularly effective for short, noisy non-stationary signals where parametric approaches fail.
