We study three scenarios of time series following the GAR(1) model (5). The first example is that of the real line R equipped with the standard Euclidean distance, with a multiplicative noise model. For the second example, we consider the space of density distributions over the real line equipped with the 2-Wasserstein distance, described in Example 2.4, with a geodesic noise model that we describe later. For the last example, we consider SPD matrices with the Log-Cholesky metric from Example 2.5 with a noise model based on the Lie group structure defined in Lin (2019).

All simulations and analyses are done in Python. The code to reproduce the experiments and figures is available online[1].
