iterate.lin.recursion: Generate Sequence Iterating a Linear Recursion

Description

Generate numeric sequences applying a linear recursion nr.it times.

Usage

iterate.lin.recursion(x, coeff, delta = 0, nr.it)

Arguments

x

numeric vector with initial values, i.e., specifying the beginning of the resulting sequence; must be of length (larger or) equal to length(coeff).

coeff

coefficient vector of the linear recursion.

delta

numeric scalar added to each term; defaults to 0. If not zero, determines the linear drift component.

nr.it

integer, number of iterations.

Value

numeric vector, say r, of length n + nr.it, where n = length(x). Initialized as r[1:n] = x, the recursion is r[k+1] = sum(coeff * r[(k-m+1):k]), where m = length(coeff).

See Also

seq can be regarded as a trivial special case.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## The Fibonacci sequence:
iterate.lin.recursion(0:1, c(1,1), nr = 12)
## 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233

## seq() as a special case:
stopifnot(iterate.lin.recursion(4,1, d=2, nr=20)
          == seq(4, by=2, length=1+20))

## ''Deterministic AR(2)'' :
round(iterate.lin.recursion(1:4, c(-0.7, 0.9), d = 2, nr=15), dig=3)
## slowly decaying :
plot(ts(iterate.lin.recursion(1:4, c(-0.9, 0.95), nr=150)))
# }
