Periodic phenomena of a single time series can be analyzed with function analyze.wavelet
.
Results of the analysis (a time/period image of the wavelet power spectrum, plots of the average power,
and phase plots for selected periods and a time/period image of phases) can be accessed through various plot functions
(wt.image
, wt.avg
, wt.sel.phases
, wt.phase.image
).
Function reconstruct
returns the reconstructed time series where reconstruction is according to constraints
on significance, period specification, and cone of influence.
The cross-wavelet spectrum and coherency spectrum of two time series can be analyzed with function analyze.coherency
.
Results (a time/period image of cross-wavelet power or coherency, plots of averages, plots of phases and phase differences
for selected periods and the time/period image of phase differences) can be accessed through corresponding functions
(wc.image
, wc.avg
, wc.sel.phases
, wc.phasediff.image
).
Detrending of the time series at hand is offered as an option. Wavelet transformations are computed using the Morlet wavelet. Smoothing filters are provided in the case of cross-wavelet transformation to compute wavelet coherency.
Significance is assessed with simulation algorithms, a variety of alternative hypotheses to test is available, for which surrogate time series are provided: white noise, shuffling the given time series, time series with a similar spectrum, AR, and ARIMA.
Names and parts of the layout of some routines were inspired by similar functions developed by Huidong Tian
and Bernard Cazelles (archived R package WaveletCo
). The basic concept of the simulation algorithm
and of ridge determination build on ideas developed by these authors. The major part of the code for the computation
of the cone of influence and the code for Fourier-randomized surrogate time series has been adopted from Huidong Tian.
The implementation of a choice of filtering windows for the computation of the wavelet coherence was inspired by
Luis Aguiar-Conraria and Maria Joana Soares (GWPackage
).
Cross-wavelet and coherence computation, the simulation algorithm, and ridge determination build heavily on the use of matrices
in order to minimize computation time in R.
What is new in WaveletComp
version 1.1?
Tools for displaying and analyzing periodic phenomena across time have been extended. The main innovations are:
All functions of family wt.<>
(showing results concerning a single time series) can now also be applied
to extract univariate outcomes from cross-wavelet and coherence analysis (objects of class "analyze.coherency"
).
It is possible to control the color gradation of time-period spectrum plots, and accentuate the contrast, by raising the wavelet power values to any (positive) exponent before plotting.
Setting a maximum level for the color bar facilitates the visual comparison of time-period spectrum plots. Maximum and minimum plot levels are options for plots of averages too.
The time and period axes are now easier to individualize by specifying tick marks and labels.
Coordinates on the time axis can be conveniently addressed via an index or a "POSIXct"
object.
Graphical parameters of global coverage (cex.axis
, font.axis
, cex.lab
, font.lab
,
mgp
etc., see par
) as well as parameters of local coverage (within axis specification options) help fine-tune plots.
Two more real-world data sets have been included in WaveletComp, namely:
Data set "weather.radiation.Mannheim"
, containing daily weather and ambient radiation readings from Mannheim (Germany).
Data set "USelection2016.Instagram"
, containing hourly numbers of candidate-related media uploads to Instagram right before the 2016 US presidential election.
