fst: Functional Stationarity Test

In STFTS: Statistical Tests for Functional Time Series

Description

Stationarity test for functional time series with different methods on determining the critical values of the test statistic. The Monte Carlo method was constructed in Horvath et al. (2014), while the bootstrap-based methods have not been validated in the literature (although such an option is provided, please use them at your own risk).

Usage

fst(
  X,
  STAT = 1,
  ALPHA = 0.05,
  METHOD = "MC",
  K = default_kernel,
  h_power = 2/5,
  est_ev = nrow(X),
  MCNsim = 10000,
  bb_set = NULL,
  dbb_set = NULL,
  M = 1000,
  b = ceiling((2 * nrow(X))^(1/3))
)

Arguments

X	The functional time series being tested, inputted in a matrix form with each row representing each observation of the functional data values on equidistant points of any prespecified interval.
STAT	Test statistic used in the stationarity test. The default value 'STAT=1' represents 'T_N' and 'STAT=2' represents 'M_N' in original paper.
ALPHA	Significance level of the test. The default value is 5%.
METHOD	Method to determine the critical value of the test statistic. The default value 'METHOD="MC"' represents the Monte Carlo method. 'METHOD="SB"' represents the simple bootstrap method and 'METHOD="MBB"' represents the moving block bootstrap method.
K	Kernel function in the estimation of the long-run covariance function, which is only effective in the Monte Carlo method. The default function is 'default_kernel' function in this package.
h_power	Power of sample size 'N' (valued in (0,1)) for the smoothing bandwidth, which is only effective in the Monte Carlo method. The default value is 2/5.
est_ev	Number of the largest eigenvalues chosen to estimate the limiting distribution, which is only effective in the Monte Carlo method. The default value is the sample size 'N'.
MCNsim	Number of Monte Carlo datasets generated in the Monte Carlo method, which is only effective in Monte Carlo method. The default value is 10000.
bb_set	A vector of independent simulated data generated from the function 'dataset_bb', which is only effective and essential in Monte Carlo method with 'STAT=1'.
dbb_set	A vector of independent simulated data generated from the function 'dataset_dbb', which is only effective and essential in Monte Carlo method with 'STAT=2'.
M	Number of bootstrap datasets generated in the bootstrap method, which is only effective in bootstrap methods. The default value is 1000.
b	Block length used in the moving block bootstrap method, which is only effective in the moving block bootstrap method. The default value is ceiling((2N)^(1/3)), where 'N' is the sample size.

Value

The result of the test is presented with the value of test statistic and its p-value under the null hypothesis of local stationarity.

temp<-rnorm(100,0,1)
EX[i,1]<-temp[1]
for (j in 2:100) {
EX[i,j]<-EX[i,j-1]+temp[j]
}
