Tropical time series, iterated-sums signatures and quasisymmetric functions
Driven by the need for principled extraction of features from time series,we introduce the iterated-sums signature over any commutative semiring.The case of the tropical semiring is a central, and our motivating, example,as it leads to features of (real-valued) time series that are not easily availableusing existing signature-type objects.
