Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition Base on Complementary Adaptive Noises

Abstract

Empirical Model Decomposition (EMD) and its improved algorithms are most useful signal processing methods. However, those methods still lack rigorous mathematical theory. This paper attempts to analyze mathematically the reconstruction errors for Ensemble EMD (EEMD) and EEMD with Adaptive Noises (EEMDAN). Moreover, the formulae of the residual noise are deduced step by step. There exists the residual noise in each intrinsic mode function during the EEMDAN. To suppress the residual noise, an improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition with complementary adaptive noises by adding pairs of positive and negative noises is proposed. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can obviously reduce the residual noise in each intrinsic mode function compared with the EEMD and the EEMDAN, and it also has better signal reconstruction precision and faster signal decomposition.
