TB_MA: Checks for a Lag in VMA Process with Tiao-Box Procedure.

Description

This function helps to find a lag in stationary VMA process with Tiao-Box procedure, i.e., the lag length beyond which we are willing to assume that the autocorrelation is essentially zero.

Usage

TB_MA(d,q.max)

Arguments

d

matrix of time-series, assumed to be the stationary VARMA type, columns correspond to time index, and rows to different time-series

q.max

numeric indicating the maximum number of lag to be considered

Value

numeric indicating the found lag length

Details

The function searches for correlations smaller than \(-2n^{-0.5}\) or higher than \(2n^{-0.5}\), where \(n\) is the lenght of the time-series.
