WCC: Wavelet cross-correlation (bivariate case).

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References Examples

View source: R/WCC.R

Description

The WCC function (bivariate case) computes the wavelet cross correlation using the spin.correlation function of the waveslim package for two time series, and presents the result as a plot that reduce the number of plots of the classical function spin.correlation. The heatmap plot is built using the colorspace package and can be displayed in the screen or can be saved as PNG, JPG, PDF or EPS.

Usage

2
WCC(inputDATA, Wname, J, lmax, device="screen", filename,
    Hfig, WFig, Hpdf, Wpdf)

Arguments

inputDATA

A couple of time series as a ts object (please, check the ts manual to get more information about the ts function in R).

Wname

The wavelet function or filter to use in the decomposition.

J

Specifies the depth of the decomposition.

lmax

The maximum lag.

device

The type of the output device (by default the option is “screen”, and the other options are “jpg”, “png”, “eps” and “pdf”).

filename

The output filename.

Hfig

The height of the 'jpg' or 'png' image.

WFig

The width of the 'jpg' or 'png' image.

Hpdf

The height of the 'eps' or 'pdf'.

Wpdf

The width of the 'eps' or 'pdf'.

Details

The WCC function compute the wavelet cross-correlation between two time series and plot the results in a single heatmap plot (please, look at Figure 5 in Polanco-Martinez and Fernandez-Macho 2014). The WCC code is based on the spin.correlation routine from Brandon Whitcher's waveslim R package Version: 1.7.1, which is based mainly on wavelet methodology developed by Whitcher, B., P. Guttorp and D.B. Percival (2000) and Gencay, Selcuk and Whitcher (2001).

Value

Output:

Output plot: screen or 'filename + .png, .jpg, .eps or .pdf'.

returns.cross.cor: a matrix with the WCC values.

Note

Needs waveslim package to calculate modwt, brick.wall and spin.correlation and also needs the colorspace package to plot the heatmaps.
