SMap: SMap forecasting

Description

SMap performs time series forecasting based on localised (or global) nearest neighbor projection in the time series phase space as described in Sugihara 1994.

Usage

SMap(pathIn = "./", dataFile = "", dataFrame = NULL, 
  lib = "", pred = "", E = 0, Tp = 1, knn = 0, tau = -1, 
  theta = 0, exclusionRadius = 0, columns = "", target = "", smapFile = "", 
  embedded = FALSE, const_pred = FALSE, verbose = FALSE,
  validLib = vector(), generateSteps = 0, parameterList = FALSE,
  showPlot = FALSE)

Value

A named list with two data.frames [[predictions, coefficients]].

predictions has columns Observations, Predictions. If

const_pred is TRUE the column Const_Predictions is added. The first column contains time values.

coefficients data.frame has time values in the first column. Columns 2 through E+2 (E+1 columns) are the SMap coefficients.

If parameterList = TRUE a named list "parameters" is added.

Arguments

pathIn

path to dataFile.

dataFile

.csv format data file name. The first column must be a time index or time values. The first row must be column names.

dataFrame

input data.frame. The first column must be a time index or time values. The columns must be named.

lib

string with start and stop indices of input data rows used to create the library of observations. A single contiguous range is supported.

pred

string with start and stop indices of input data rows used for predictions. A single contiguous range is supported.

E

embedding dimension.

Tp

prediction horizon (number of time column rows).

knn

number of nearest neighbors. If knn=0, knn is set to the library size.

tau

lag of time delay embedding specified as number of time column rows.

theta

neighbor localisation exponent.

exclusionRadius

excludes vectors from the search space of nearest neighbors if their relative time index is within exclusionRadius.

columns

string of whitespace separated column name(s) in the input data used to create the library.

target

column name in the input data used for prediction.

smapFile

output file containing SMap coefficients.

embedded

logical specifying if the input data are embedded.

const_pred

logical to add a constant predictor column to the output. The constant predictor is X(t+1) = X(t).

verbose

logical to produce additional console reporting.

validLib

logical vector the same length as the number of data rows. Any data row represented in this vector as FALSE, will not be included in the library.

generateSteps

number of predictive feedback generative steps.

parameterList

logical to add list of invoked parameters.

showPlot

logical to plot results.

Details

If embedded is FALSE, the data column(s) are embedded to dimension E with time lag tau. This embedding forms an n-columns * E-dimensional phase space for the SMap projection. If embedded is TRUE, the data are assumed to contain an E-dimensional embedding with E equal to the number of columns. See the Note below for proper use of multivariate data (number of columns > 1).

Predictions are made using leave-one-out cross-validation, i.e. observation rows are excluded from the prediction regression.

In contrast to Simplex, SMap uses all available neighbors and weights them with an exponential decay in phase space distance with exponent theta. theta=0 uses all neighbors corresponding to a global autoregressive model. As theta increases, neighbors closer in vicinity to the observation are considered.
