ltza: Value of quadratic forms for the inverse of a symmetric...

In HKprocess: Hurst-Kolmogorov Process

Value of quadratic forms for the inverse of a symmetric positive definite autocorrelation matrix.

Description

The function ltza is used to calculate the value of quadratic forms for the inverse of a symmetric positive definite autocorrelation matrix, using the Levinson algorithm (Golub and Van Loan 1996, Algorithm 4.7.2).

Usage

ltza(r, x)

Arguments

r	autocorelation vector
x	time series data

Value

Vector with values t(x) * solve(R) * x, t(en) * solve(R) * x, t(en) * solve(R) * en and the natural logarithm of the determinant of R. t(.) denotes the transpose of a vector, en = (1,1,...,1) and R is the autocorrelation matrix.

Examples

# Estimate the parameters for the Nile time series.

r <- acfHKp(H = 0.8, maxlag = length(Nile)-1)

examp <- ltza(r, Nile)

# Comparison of the algorithm with typical approaches

examp[1] - as.numeric(t(Nile) %*% solve(toeplitz(r)) %*% Nile)

examp[2] - as.numeric(t(rep(1, length(r))) %*% solve(toeplitz(r)) %*% Nile)

examp[3] - as.numeric(t(rep(1, length(r))) %*% solve(toeplitz(r)) %*%
    rep(1,length(r)))

examp[4] - log(det(toeplitz(r)))
