How do you remove non-linear trends?
To eliminate the nonlinear trend, fit a low-order polynomial to the signal and subtract it. In this case, the polynomial is of order 6. Plot the two new signals. The trends have been effectively removed.
How can you deal with non linearity in your data?
The easiest approach is to first plot out the two variables in a scatter plot and view the relationship across the spectrum of scores. That may give you some sense of the relationship. You can then try to fit the data using various polynomials or splines.
How do you remove a trend from a time series?
We can also apply a linear regression model to remove the trend. Below we are fitting a linear regression model to our time-series data. We are then using a fit model to predict time-series values from beginning to end. We are then subtracting predicted values from original time-series to remove the trend.
