median.ftsR Documentation

Median functions for functional time series

Description

Computes median of functional time series at each variable.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fts'
median(x, na.rm, method = c("hossjercroux", "coordinate", "FM", "mode", 
 "RP", "RPD", "radius"), alpha, beta, weight, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class fts.

na.rm

Remove any missing value.

method

Method for computing median.

alpha

Tuning parameter when method="radius".

beta

Trimming percentage, by default it is 0.25, when method="radius".

weight

Hard thresholding or soft thresholding.

...

Other arguments.

Details

If method = "coordinate", it computes a coordinate-wise median.

If method = "hossjercroux", it computes the L1-median using the Hossjer-Croux algorithm.

If method = "FM", it computes the median of trimmed functional data ordered by the functional depth of Fraiman and Muniz (2001).

If method = "mode", it computes the median of trimmed functional data ordered by h-modal functional depth.

If method = "RP", it computes the median of trimmed functional data ordered by random projection depth.

If method = "RPD", it computes the median of trimmed functional data ordered by random projection derivative depth.

If method = "radius", it computes the mean of trimmed functional data ordered by the notion of alpha-radius.

Value

A list containing x = variables and y = median rates.
