Signal Prediction from Sampling on Geometric Sequences

摘要

A method and system are described that can predict the future value of a positive signal from prior measured values of the signal. The signal is measured at a prior baseline time, and at times incrementally beyond the baseline time. The post-baseline time increments comprise sets of geometric sequences. The system produces a future estimate of the signal merely by multiplying and dividing prior signal values. By repeated operation, the system can produce an output signal: a continuing stream of periodic signal predictions, which approximates periodic samples of the future signal “pulled back” in time.

1) A method for predicting the future value of a signal from prior measurements of the signal, said method comprising the steps of
(a) measuring the signal at a baseline time and at a number of incrementally later times whose time increments beyond the baseline time comprise a number of geometric sequences; and (b) forming said prediction, which is a product solely composed of a number of factors, each of said factors being either one of said measured signal values or the inverse of one of said measured signal values.
