DLAcfToAR | R Documentation |
Given autocorrelations at lags 1,...,n the AR parameters corresponding to the AR coefficients, partial autocorrelations (pacf) and standarized minimum-mean-square predictor variance (sigsqk) are computed. Can also be used as a test for valid acf sequence.
DLAcfToAR(r, useC = TRUE, PDSequenceTestQ = FALSE)
r |
autocorrelations starting at lag 1 |
useC |
TRUE, C-interface function used. Otherwise if FALSE calculations are done in R |
PDSequenceTestQ |
FALSE, an error message is given if the autocorrelation sequence in not pd otherwise test for pd |
This function is more general than the built-in acf2AR
since
it provides the pacf and standardized minimum-mean-square error predictors.
The standardized minimum-mean-square error predictor variances are
defined as the minimum-mean-square error predictor variance for an AR
process with unit variance. So for a sufficiently high-order, an
approximation to the innovation variance is obtained.
The pacf may be used as an alternative parameterization for the linear time series model (McLeod and Zhang, 2006).
a matrix with 3 columns and length(r) rows is returned corresponding to the ar coefficients, pacf and sigsqk when PDSequenceTestQ = FALSE. Otherwise when PDSequenceTestQ = TRUE, the result is TRUE or FALSE according as the autocorrelation is a valid positive-definite sequence.
