Objective Empirical Mode Decomposition metric

Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a data-driven technique for extraction of oscillatory components from data. Although it has been introduced over 15 years ago, its mathematical foundations are still missing which also implies lack of objective metrics for decomposed set evaluation. Most common technique for assessing results of EMD is their visual inspection, which is very subjective. This article provides objective measures for assessing EMD results based on the original definition of oscillatory components.
