acf: autocorrelation function for time series

Usage

acf(x, lag.max, type = "correlation", plot = FALSE)

Arguments

x
a time series, vector or matrix
lag.max
maximum lag at which to calculate acf
type
by default an autocorrelation function is calculated. If type="covariance" the autocovariance function is calculated. Partial correlations are not implemented
plot
flag for S-PLUS compatibility. Ignored

Value

  • A list with the following elements:
  • acfAutocorrelation function
  • lagLag values at which acf is calculated
  • n.usedNumber of observations used in calculation
  • typeSee above
  • seriesName of time series used as input

notes

An attempt to re-implement the S-PLUS acf function. Still lacking in some features of the S-PLUS version.
