Objects can be created by calls of the form new("MixARGaussian",
...), giving the elements of the model as named arguments, see the
examples below. All elements of the model, except arcoef, are
simple numeric vectors. From version 0.19-15 of package MixAR it is
possible to create objects using MixARGaussian(...). The two
forms are completely equivalent.
arcoef contains the AR coefficients, one numeric vector for
each mixture component. It can be given as a
"raggedCoef" object or as a list of numeric
vectors.
To input a model with seasonal AR coefficients, argument passed to arcoef can be passed as a raggedCoefS object, or as a list of three elements.
For the latter, seasonality s must be explicitly indicated.
AR coefficients can be given as list or matrix within the main list (one for main AR coefficients, named a, and one for seasonal AR coefficients, as). Each row of a input matrix/element of the list denotes one component of the mixture.
If not named, initialisation takes the first passed element to be a and the second to be as.
The AR order of the model is inferred from arcoef
argument. If argument order is given, it is checked for
consistency with arcoef. The shift slot defaults to a
vector of zeroes and the scale slot to a vector of ones.
The distribution of the noise components is standard Gaussian, N(0,1).
