var.fts: Variance functions for functional time series

Description

Computes variance functions of functional time series at each variable.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fts':
var(x, method = c("coordinate", "FM", "mode", "RP", "RPD", "radius"), 
 trim = 0.25, alpha, weight, ...)

Value

A list containing x = variables and y = variance rates.

Details

If method = "coordinate", it computes coordinate-wise variance. If method = "FM", it computes the variance of trimmed functional data ordered by the functional depth of Fraiman and Muniz (2001). If method = "mode", it computes the variance of trimmed functional data ordered by $h$-modal functional depth. If method = "RP", it computes the variance of trimmed functional data ordered by random projection depth. If method = "RPD", it computes the variance of trimmed functional data ordered by random projection derivative depth. If method = "radius", it computes the standard deviation function of trimmed functional data ordered by the notion of alpha-radius.
