ArmaStatistics: Statistics of the True ARMA Process

Description

A collection and description of functions to compute statistics of a true ARMA time series process. The functions are: ll{ armaRoots Roots of the characteristic ARMA polynomial, armaTrueacf True autocorrelation function of an ARMA process.}

Usage

armaRoots(coefficients, n.plot = 400, digits = 4, ...) 
armaTrueacf(model, lag.max = 20, type = c("correlation", "partial", "both"), 
    doplot = TRUE)

Arguments

coefficients

[armaRoots] - a numeric vector with the coefficients of the characterisitic polynomial.

digits

[armaRoots] - output precision, an integer value.

doplot

[armaRoots] - a logical. Should a plot be displayed?

lag.max

[armaTrueacf] - maximum number of lags at which to calculate the acf or pacf, an integer value by default 20.

model

[armaTrueacf] - a specification of the ARMA model with two elements: model$ar is the vector of the AR coefficients, and model$ma is the vector of the MA coefficients.

n

[armaSim] - an integer value setting the length of the series to be simulated (optional if innov is provided). The default value is 100.

n.plot

[armaRoots] - the number of data points to plot the unit circle; an integer value.

type

[armaTrueacf] - a character string, "correlation" to compute the true autocorrelation function, "partial" to compute the true partial autocorrelation function, or "both" if both functions are desired. The start of one of the stri

...

additional arguments to be passed.

Value

• armaRoots returns a three column data frame with the real, the imaginary part and the radius of the roots. The number of rows corresponds to the coefficients. armaTrueacf returns a two column data frame with the lag and the correlation function.
