dlm (version 1.1-2)

dlmModTrig: Create Fourier representation of a periodic DLM component

Description

The function creates a dlm representing a specified periodic component.

Usage

dlmModTrig(s, q, om, tau, dV = 1, dW = 0, m0, C0)

Arguments

s

the period, if integer.

q

number of harmonics in the DLM.

om

the frequency.

tau

the period, if not an integer.

dV

variance of the observation noise.

dW

a single number expressing the variance of the system noise.

m0

$m_0$, the expected value of the pre-sample state vector.

C0

$C_0$, the variance matrix of the pre-sample state vector.

Value

• An object of class dlm, representing a periodic component.

Details

The periodic component is specified by one and only one of s, om, and tau. When s is given, the function assumes that the period is an integer, while a period specified by tau is assumed to be noninteger. Instead of tau, the frequency om can be specified. The argument q specifies the number of harmonics to include in the model. When tau or omega is given, then q is required as well, since in this case the implied Fourier representation has infinitely many harmonics. On the other hand, if s is given, q defaults to all the harmonics in the Fourier representation, that is floor(s/2).

The system variance of the resulting dlm is dW times the identity matrix of the appropriate dimension.

Examples

dlmModTrig(s = 3)
dlmModTrig(tau = 3, q = 1) # same thing
dlmModTrig(s = 4) # for quarterly data
dlmModTrig(s = 4, q = 1)
dlmModTrig(tau = 4, q = 2) # a bad idea!
m1 <- dlmModTrig(tau = 6.3, q = 2); m1
m2 <- dlmModTrig(om = 2 * pi / 6.3, q = 2)
all.equal(unlist(m1), unlist(m2))
