Drift Diffusion Jump Nonparametrics Early Warning Signals

Description

ddjnonparam_ews is used to compute nonparametrically conditional variance, drift, diffusion and jump intensity in a timeseries and it also interpolates to obtain the evolution of the nonparametric statistics in time.

Usage

ddjnonparam_ews(
  timeseries,
  bandwidth = 0.6,
  na = 500,
  logtransform = TRUE,
  interpolate = FALSE
)

Arguments

timeseries	a numeric vector of the observed univariate timeseries values or a numeric matrix where the first column represents the time index and the second the observed timeseries values. Use vectors/matrices with headings.
bandwidth	is the bandwidht of the kernel regressor (must be numeric). Default is 0.6.
na	is the number of points for computing the kernel (must be numeric). Default is 500.
logtransform	logical. If TRUE data are logtransformed prior to analysis as log(X+1). Default is FALSE.
interpolate	logical. If TRUE linear interpolation is applied to produce a timeseries of equal length as the original. Default is FALSE (assumes there are no gaps in the timeseries).

Details

The approach is based on estimating terms of a drift-diffusion-jump model as a surrogate for the unknown true data generating process: dx = f(x,θ)dt + g(x,θ)dW + dJ. Here x is the state variable, f() and g() are nonlinear functions, dW is a Wiener process and dJ is a jump process. Jumps are large, one-step, positive or negative shocks that are uncorrelated in time. In addition, ddjnonparam_ews returns a first plot with the original timeseries and the residuals after first-differencing. A second plot shows the nonparametric conditional variance, total variance, diffusion and jump intensity over the data, and a third plot the same nonparametric statistics over time.

Value

ddjnonparam_ews returns an object with elements: avec is the mesh for which values of the nonparametric statistics are estimated. S2.vec is the conditional variance of the timeseries x over avec. TotVar.dx.vec is the total variance of dx over avec. Diff2.vec is the diffusion estimated as total variance - jumping intensity vs avec. LamdaZ.vec is the jump intensity over avec. Tvec1 is the timeindex. S2.t is the conditional variance of the timeseries x data over Tvec1. TotVar.t is the total variance of dx over Tvec1. Diff2.t is the diffusion over Tvec1. Lamda.t is the jump intensity over Tvec1.
