wave.local.multiple.cross.correlation: Wavelet routine for local multiple cross-correlation

Description

Produces an estimate of the multiscale local multiple cross-correlation (as defined below) along with approximate confidence intervals.

Usage

wave.local.multiple.cross.correlation(xx, M,
     window="gauss", lag.max=NULL, p=.975, ymaxr=NULL)

Arguments

xx

A list of $n$ (multiscaled) time series, usually the outcomes of dwt or modwt, i.e. xx <- list(v1.modwt.bw, v2.modwt.bw, v3.modwt.bw)

M

length of the weight function or rolling window.

window

type of weight function or rolling window. Six types are allowed, namely the uniform window, Cleveland or tricube window, Epanechnikov or parabolic window, Bartlett or triangular window, Wendland window and the gaussian window. The letter case and length of the argument are not relevant as long as at least the first four characters are entered.

lag.max

maximum lag (and lead). If not set, it defaults to half the square root of the length of the original series.

p

one minus the two-sided p-value for the confidence interval, i.e. the cdf value.

ymaxr

index number of the variable whose correlation is calculated against a linear combination of the rest, otherwise at each wavelet level wlmc chooses the one maximizing the multiple correlation.

Value

List of four elements:

val:

list of $J+1$ dataframes, each (rows = #observations, columns = #levels) providing the point estimates for the wavelet local multiple correlation.

lo:

list of $J+1$ dataframes, each (rows = #observations, columns = #lags and leads) providing the lower bounds from the confidence interval.

up:

list of $J+1$ dataframes, each (rows = #observations, columns = #lags and leads) providing the upper bounds from the confidence interval.

YmaxR:

numeric matrix (rows = #observations, columns = #levels) giving, at each wavelet level and time, the index number of the variable whose correlation is calculated against a linear combination of the rest. By default, wlmc chooses at each wavelet level and value in time the variable maximizing the multiple correlation.

Details

The routine calculates $J+1$ sets of wavelet multiple cross-correlations,one per wavelet level, out of $n$ variables, that can be plotted each as lags and leads time series plots.
