DiffusionRjgqd

Inference and Analysis for Generalized Quadratic Jump Diffusions

What is DiffusionRjgqd?

DiffusionRjgqd is collection of tools for performing inference and analysis on scalar and bivariate time-inhomogeneous jump diffusion processes with quadratic drift and diffusion terms in R.

What is DiffusionRjgqd?

DiffusionRjgqd is collection of tools for performing inference and analysis on scalar and bivariate time-inhomogeneous jump diffusion processes with quadratic drift and diffusion terms in R.

Why use DiffusionRjgqd?

DiffusionRjgqd provides a simple interface that requires minimal mathematical input in order to perform analysis on non-linear, time-inhomogeneous diffusion processes. The package also makes use of C++ in order to maximize the computational efficiency of inference routines. As such it is possible to conduct inference on a plethora of models in a desktop environment without incurring excessively long computation times.

Installation Notes

Mac users may have to carry out some additional installation procedures in order for DiffusionRjgqd to operate optimally.

Mac users:

To install the latest version of Rcpp, the latest version of R is needed. To install RcppArmadillo, the Fortran version used by R needs to be updated. To install rgl, the computer needs to have X11 installed. Update R to the latest version. Run the following code: install.packages("Rcpp", type = "source",dep=T)

Open a Terminal and run the following code:

curl -O http://r.research.att.com/libs/gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2 sudo tar fvxz gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2 -C /

Back in R, run the following code:

install.packages("RcppArmadillo",dep=T)

Make sure you have X11 installed.

Go to Applications/Utilities and see if X11 is there. If not, you’ll need to install X11 or XQuartz. These are available from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

Back in R, run the following code:

install.packages(“rgl",dep=T)

Download the DiffusionRjgqd package and run the code:

install.packages("~/DiffusionRgqd_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source”)

Run the following code in R to see if the package works:

library(DiffpackRgqd) example(GQD.density) example(GQD.mcmc)
