TSdist (version 2.2)

ar.mahDistance: Model-based Dissimilarity Proposed by Maharaj (1996, 2000)

Description

Computes the model based dissimilarity proposed by Maharaj.

Usage

ar.mahDistance(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector containing the first time series.

y

Numeric vector containing the second time series.

...

Additional parameters for the function. See diss.AR.MAH for more information.

Value

• statistic
  The statistic of the homogeneity test.
• p-value
  The p-value issued by the homogeneity test.

Details

This is simply a wrapper for the diss.AR.MAH function of package TSclust. As such, all the functionalities of the diss.AR.MAH function are also available when using this function.

Examples

#The objects example.series3 and example.series4 are two 
#numeric series of length 100 and 120 contained in the 
#TSdist package obtained from an ARIMA(3,0,2) process. 

data(example.series3)
data(example.series4)

#For information on their generation and shape see 
#help page of example.series.

help(example.series)

#Calculate the ar.mah distance between the two series using
#the default parameters. 

ar.mahDistance(example.series3, example.series4)

#The p-value is almost 1, which indicates that the two series come from the same 
#ARMA process.
