Abstract: Signal extraction concerns the definition, the analysis and the extraction of systematic patterns in time series. We here rely on linear filters and propose a new phenomenological approach which emphasizes filter effects. In this perspective, optimal designs are derived by tuning filter characteristics to application purposes. In essence, our approach aligns optimization criteria on problem structures and user priorities. We stress the importance of an agnostic approach whose scope generalizes classical filters as well as traditional model-based approaches. In particular, we propose customized criteria for minimizing revisions and for emphasizing timeliness and/or reliability of early (real-time) estimates. The key towards our customized approach is a thorough analysis of filter effects in the frequency domain. We identify filters with transfer functions and decompose the filter effect into amplitude and phase errors. In a real-time perspective, the resulting decomposition of the mean-square filter error enables to track simultaneously reliability/accuracy issues (noise suppression) as well as timeliness (time-shift/delay) aspects. The resulting optimality concept blends with the structure of the estimation problem and the intention of the analyst, as well. We here propose a new generalized optimization criterion which bridges the gap between the original Direct Filter Approach (DFA) and a numerically fast linear approximation I-DFA of the former. Unlike I-DFA, the resulting new estimation method is able to replicate the original DFA perfectly and it is almost as fast, in computational terms, as I-DFA.
