uniAR: Univariate Jacobian Index Estimated From Univariate Autocorrelation Matrix

Description

Estimate the dominant Jacobian eigenvalue of a univariate time series using autocorrelated stochastic differential equations

Usage

uniAR(data, scale = TRUE, winsize = 50, p = 1, dt = 1)

Value

A dataframe where the first column is last time index of the window and the second column is the estimated index value. A value <1.0 indicates stability, a value >1.0 indicates instability.

Arguments

data

Numeric matrix with time in first column and species abundance in the second

scale

Boolean. Should data be scaled prior to estimating the Jacobian.

winsize

Numeric. Defines the window size of the rolling window as a percentage of the time series length.

p

Numeric. Defines the model order. Defaults to `1`.

dt

Numeric An appropriate time step

Examples

#Load the multivariate simulated
#dataset `simTransComms`

data(simTransComms)

#Subset the second community prior to the transition

pre_simTransComms <- subset(simTransComms$community2,time < inflection_pt)

#Estimate the univariate stability index for the first species in
#the second community

egarJ <- uniAR(data = pre_simTransComms[,2:3],
winsize = 25, dt = 1)
