Surrogate data

Surrogate data, sometimes known as analogous data,[1] usually refers to time series data that is produced using well-defined (linear) models like ARMA processes that reproduce various statistical properties like the autocorrelation structure of a measured data set.[2] The resulting surrogate data can then for example be used for testing for non-linear structure in the empirical data.

Surrogate or analogous data may refer to data used to supplement available data from which a mathematical model is built. Under this definition, it may be generated or transformed from another source.[1]
