Hector v3.1
Hector estimates trends, periodic signals, and offsets in geodetic time series with correlated noise. It uses Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation (RMLE) and supports several noise models (GGM/flicker, power-law, AR(1), Matérn, white noise and combinations thereof).
Quick start
pip install hector-ts
hector-examples # creates ./hector-examples/ with examples + manual PDF
hector-examples copies eight worked examples and the PDF user manual into a
directory of your choice. Open hector_manual_v3.1.pdf first — it explains
the workflow, all control-file parameters, and walks through every example
step by step. The examples are self-contained: each has its own data and
control files ready to run.
Installation
Windows
Pre-built wheels are available for Python 3.10–3.14. FFTW3 is bundled inside the wheel, so no separate installation is needed:
pip install hector-ts
macOS (Apple Silicon — M1 and later)
Pre-built wheels are available for Python 3.10–3.14. Install FFTW3 via Homebrew first (it is not bundled in the macOS wheel):
brew install fftw
pip install hector-ts
macOS (Intel)
Hector is compiled from source during pip install, so Xcode Command Line
Tools must be present (xcode-select --install):
brew install fftw
pip install hector-ts
If the build fails, conda provides a self-contained alternative:
conda install -c conda-forge fftw
pip install hector-ts
Linux
Pre-built manylinux wheels are available for Python 3.10–3.14 on x86_64 — no FFTW3 headers needed for those platforms. For other architectures (ARM64 etc.) Hector builds from source; install the FFTW3 development package first:
# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt install libfftw3-dev
# CentOS / RHEL / Fedora
sudo yum install fftw-devel # or: sudo dnf install fftw-devel
pip install hector-ts

Performance
Hector v3.1 is a Python/Cython rewrite of Hector C++ v2.2. The core Toeplitz factorisation uses the Generalised Schur Algorithm (O(n log²n)) instead of Durbin-Levinson (O(n²)), and data gaps are handled exactly with an FFT-based conjugate-gradient solver. The speedup over C++ v2.2 grows with series length — up to ~27× at 40 years without gaps, and ~10× with 10% gaps:
| Series | Gaps | Hector v3.1 (s) | Hector C++ v2.2 (s) | Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yr | 0% | 1.11 | 2.9 | 2.6× |
| 20 yr | 0% | 1.60 | 6.6 | 4.1× |
| 30 yr | 0% | 2.32 | 21.8 | 9.4× |
| 40 yr | 0% | 2.58 | 68.7 | 26.6× |
| 10 yr | 10% | 2.36 | 4.5 | 1.9× |
| 20 yr | 10% | 4.36 | 16.5 | 3.8× |
| 30 yr | 10% | 9.16 | 51.7 | 5.6× |
| 40 yr | 10% | 14.44 | 150.1 | 10.4× |
Benchmarked on Apple M4 Pro, GGM+White noise model, including offset estimation.
