Two-Dimensional (2D) Hybrid Method: Expanding 2D Correlation Spectroscopy (2D-COS) for Time Series Analysis

We present a concise report on the ‘2DHybrid’ method, an innovative extension of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D COS), tailored for quasar light curve analysis. Addressing the challenge of discerning periodic variations against the background of intrinsic “red” noise fluctuations, this method employs cross-correlation of wavelet transform matrices to reveal distinct correlation patterns between underlaying oscillations, offering new insights into quasar dynamics.
