simGauss: Simulate (Fractional) Gaussian Processes

Description

Simulation of a Gaussian series \(X(1), \dots, X(n)\). Whereas simGauss works from autocovariances, where simFGN0 and simARMA0 call it, for simulating a fractional ARIMA(0,d,0) process (\(d = H-1/2\)), or fractional Gaussian noise, respectively.

Usage

simARMA0  (n, H)
simFGN0   (n, H)
simFGN.fft(n, H, …)
simGauss(autocov)

Arguments

n

length of time series

H

self-similarity parameter

…

optional arguments passed to B.specFGN().

autocov

numeric vector of auto covariances \(\gamma(0), \ldots, \gamma(n-1)\).

Value

The simulated series \(X(1), \dots, X(n)\), an R object of class "ts", constructed from ts().

Details

simGauss implements the method by Davies and Harte which is relatively fast using the FFT (fft) twice.

To simulate ARIMA(p, d, q), (for d in (-1/2, 1,2), you can use arima.sim(n, model = list(ar= .., ma = ..), innov= simARMA0(n,H=d+1/2) , n.start = 0).

simFGN.fft() is about twice as fast as simFGN0() and uses Paxson's proposal, by default via B.specFGN(*, k.approx=3, adjust=TRUE).
