| contents | Complex phenomena can be better understood when broken down into a limited number of simpler "components". Linear statistical methods such as the principal component analysis and its variants are widely used across various fields of applied science to identify and rank these components based on the variance they represent in the data. These methods can be seen as factorisations of the matrix collecting all the data, assuming it consists of time series sampled from fixed points in space. However, when data sampling locations vary over time, as with mobile monitoring stations in meteorology and oceanography or with particle tracking velocimetry in experimental fluid dynamics, advanced interpolation techniques are required to project the data onto a fixed grid before the factorisation. This interpolation is often expensive and inaccurate. This work proposes a method to decompose scattered data without interpolating. The approach employs physics-constrained radial basis function regression to compute inner products in space and time. The method provides an analytical and mesh-independent decomposition in space and time, demonstrating higher accuracy. Our approach allows distilling the most relevant "components" even for measurements whose natural output is a distribution of data scattered in space and time, maintaining high accuracy and mesh independence. |
