Total Effect Matrix
Over a Specific Time Interval
Description
This function computes the total effects matrix
over a specific time interval \Delta t
using the first-order stochastic differential equation model's
drift matrix \boldsymbol{\Phi}.
Usage
Total(phi, delta_t)
Arguments
phi
Numeric matrix.
The drift matrix (\boldsymbol{\Phi}).
phi should have row and column names
pertaining to the variables in the system.
delta_t
Numeric.
Time interval
(\Delta t).
Details
The total effect matrix
over a specific time interval \Delta t
is given by
\mathrm{Total}_{\Delta t}
=
\exp
\left(
\Delta t
\boldsymbol{\Phi}
\right)
where
\boldsymbol{\Phi} denotes the drift matrix, and
\Delta t the time interval.
Linear Stochastic Differential Equation Model
The measurement model is given by
\mathbf{y}_{i, t}
=
\boldsymbol{\nu}
+
\boldsymbol{\Lambda}
\boldsymbol{\eta}_{i, t}
+
\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{i, t},
\quad
\mathrm{with}
\quad
\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{i, t}
\sim
\mathcal{N}
\left(
\mathbf{0},
\boldsymbol{\Theta}
\right)
where
\mathbf{y}_{i, t},
\boldsymbol{\eta}_{i, t},
and
\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{i, t}
are random variables
and
\boldsymbol{\nu},
\boldsymbol{\Lambda},
and
\boldsymbol{\Theta}
are model parameters.
\mathbf{y}_{i, t}
represents a vector of observed random variables,
\boldsymbol{\eta}_{i, t}
a vector of latent random variables,
and
\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{i, t}
a vector of random measurement errors,
at time t and individual i.
\boldsymbol{\nu}
denotes a vector of intercepts,
\boldsymbol{\Lambda}
a matrix of factor loadings,
and
\boldsymbol{\Theta}
the covariance matrix of
\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}.
An alternative representation of the measurement error
is given by
\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{i, t}
=
\boldsymbol{\Theta}^{\frac{1}{2}}
\mathbf{z}_{i, t},
\quad
\mathrm{with}
\quad
\mathbf{z}_{i, t}
\sim
\mathcal{N}
\left(
\mathbf{0},
\mathbf{I}
\right)
where
\mathbf{z}_{i, t} is a vector of
independent standard normal random variables and
\left( \boldsymbol{\Theta}^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)
\left( \boldsymbol{\Theta}^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\prime}
=
\boldsymbol{\Theta} .
The dynamic structure is given by
\mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{\eta}_{i, t}
=
\left(
\boldsymbol{\iota}
+
\boldsymbol{\Phi}
\boldsymbol{\eta}_{i, t}
\right)
\mathrm{d}t
+
\boldsymbol{\Sigma}^{\frac{1}{2}}
\mathrm{d}
\mathbf{W}_{i, t}
where
\boldsymbol{\iota}
is a term which is unobserved and constant over time,
\boldsymbol{\Phi}
is the drift matrix
which represents the rate of change of the solution
in the absence of any random fluctuations,
\boldsymbol{\Sigma}
is the matrix of volatility
or randomness in the process, and
\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{W}
is a Wiener process or Brownian motion,
which represents random fluctuations.
Value
Returns an object
of class ctmedeffect which is a list with the following elements:
- call
Function call.
- args
Function arguments.
- fun
Function used ("Total").
- output
The matrix of total effects.
