sleek: Velleman PF (1980)- 4253H, twice smoothing

Description

In Time Series Resistant Smooth offers 4253H, twice smoothing method.

Usage

sleek(y)

Arguments

y

a vector or time series

Value

vector or time series of smoothed values of the same length as x

Details

4253H, twice consisting of a running median of 4, then 2, then 5, then 3 followed by Hanning. Endpoints are always handled using smoothers of shorter, even span or odd span. Hanning is a running weighted average, the weights being 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4. The result of this smoothing is then reroughed by computing residuals, applying the same smoother to them and adding the result to the smooth of the first pass. The endpoint rule modifies the values first and last values of series.

Examples

##Example of sleek function using time series data tsdata
#(GDP per capita Bangladesh, currency gold in ounce) in sleekts package:
library(sleekts)
data(tsData)
tsData
sleek(tsData)
# To see original data plot and smoothed data plot
par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
plot(tsData); plot(sleek(tsData));
