== Spatial analysis ==
 
Most of the techniques listed under 'temporal analysis' can of course be applied to spatial data.
* Tomography (cf. [[TJ-II:Tomography]])
 
== Spatio-temporal analysis ==
 
* [[Biorthogonal decomposition]] <ref>B.Ph. van Milligen, E. Sánchez, A. Alonso, M.A. Pedrosa, C. Hidalgo, A. Martín de Aguilera, A. López Fraguas, ''The use of the Biorthogonal Decomposition for the identification of zonal flows at TJ-II'', [[doi:10.1088/0741-3335/57/2/025005|Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion '''57''', 2 (2015) 025005]]</ref>
 
== Image analysis ==
 
* Twodimensional Fourier analysis
* Twodimensional wavelet analysis
* Event detection using thresholding
* [[:Wikipedia:Optical flow|Optical flow]] (for movies)
 
== Integrated data analysis ==
 
The goal of integrated data analysis is to combine the information from a set of diagnostics providing complementary information in order to recover the best possible reconstruction of the actual state of the system subjected to measurement.
* [[Function parametrization]]
* [[Bayesian data analysis]]
