SemiparMF (version 1.0.0)

simulate_semipar_data: Simulate Spatiotemporal Mixed Frequency Data

Description

Generates a synthetic dataset for testing the SemiparMF model. Structure follows Equation (7) in Malabanan et al. (2022).

Usage

simulate_semipar_data(
  n_side = 6,
  t_len = 50,
  k = 3,
  rho_error = 0.5,
  beta = 0.5,
  gamma = 0.3
)

Value

A list containing:

data

An sf object containing Y, Z, W, and geometry.

X_high

An array (N x T x K) of high-frequency covariates.

true_params

List of true parameters used for generation.

Arguments

n_side

Integer. Grid side length. Total locations N = n_side^2.

t_len

Integer. Length of the time series (T).

k

Integer. Frequency ratio (e.g., 3 months per quarter).

rho_error

Numeric. Autocorrelation coefficient for the error term (default 0.5).

beta

True coefficient for covariate Z (default 0.5).

gamma

True coefficient for neighborhood variable W (default 0.3).

Examples

# Generate a small dataset
sim <- simulate_semipar_data(n_side = 4, t_len = 10, k = 3)

# Check dimensions
dim(sim$data) # 160 x 5 (16 locations * 10 time points)
dim(sim$X_high) # 16 x 10 x 3
