This paper is a study of continuous time Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA). We show that the principal eigenfunctions are solutions to a set of linear ODEs with constant coefficients. We also introduce a natural generalization of SSA, constructed using local (Lie-) transformation groups. The time translations used in standard SSA is a special case. The eigenfunctions then satisfy a simple type of linear ODE with time dependent coefficient, determined by the infinitesimal generator of the transformation group. Finally, more general one parameter mappings are considered.
