Karhunen–Loève procedure for gappy data

The problem of using the Karhunen–Loeve transform with partial data is addressed. Given a set of empirical eigenfunctions, we show how to recover the modal coefficients for each gappy snapshot by a least-squares procedure. This method gives an unbiased estimate of the data that lie in the gaps and permits gaps to be filled in a reasonable manner. In addition, a scheme is advanced for finding empirical eigenfunctions from gappy data. It is shown numerically that this procedure obtains spectra and eigenfunctions that are close to those obtained from unmarred data.
