surrogate.AR: Surrogate Time Series Through AR Modeling (Sieve Bootstrap)

Description

Starting from a time series x given as input, the function generates surrogate series by means of the sieve bootstrap. The surrogates can be used for testing for non linearity in time series.

Usage

surrogate.AR(x, order.max = 10, fit.method = c("yule-walker", "burg", "ols", "mle", "yw"), nsurr)

Arguments

x

a univariate numeric time series object or a numeric vector.

order.max

maximum order of the AR model to fit.

fit.method

character string giving the method used to fit the AR model. Must be one of the strings in the default argument (the first few characters are sufficient). Defaults to "yule-walker".

nsurr

number of surrogates.

Value

A list with the following elements:

surr

a matrix with N rows and nsurr columns, in each column is stored a surrogate.

call

contains the call to the routine.

Details

N is the length of the series x. The best AR model is chosen by means of the AIC criterion. The residuals of the model are resampled with replacement. Surrogate series are obtained by driving the fitted model with the resampled residuals.

Examples

set.seed(1345)
# Generates a AR(1) series
x      <- arima.sim(n=120, model = list(ar=0.8));
x.surr <- surrogate.AR(x, order.max=10, nsurr=3);
plot.ts(x.surr$surr,col=4);


## Check that the surrogates have the same ACF of x
corig <- acf(x,10,plot=FALSE)$acf[,,1];
csurr <- acf(x.surr$surr[,1],10,plot=FALSE)$acf[,,1];
round(cbind(corig,csurr,"abs(difference)"=abs(corig-csurr)),3)
