Amplitude-based detection method for gravitational wave bursts with the   Hilbert-Huang Transform
  We propose a new detection method for gravitational wave bursts. It analyzes observed data with the Hilbert-Huang transform, which is an approach of time-frequency analysis constructed with the aim of manipulating non-linear and non-stationary data. Using the simulated time-series noise data and waveforms from rotating core-collapse supernovae at 30 kpc, we performed simulation to evaluate the performance of our method and it revealed the total detection probability to be 0.94 without false alerms, which corresponds to the false alarm rate < 0.001 Hz. The detection probability depends on the characteristics of the waveform, but it was found that the parameter determining the degree of differential rotation of the collapsing star is the most important for the performance of our method.
