coherence: Local Wavelet Coherence and Partial Coherence

In mvLSW: Multivariate, Locally Stationary Wavelet Process Estimation

Local Wavelet Coherence and Partial Coherence

Description

Wavelet coherence and partial coherence of an evolutionary wavelet spectrum.

Usage

  coherence(object, partial = FALSE)

Arguments

object	Multivariate evolutionary wavelet spectrum as a mvLSW object.
partial	Logical, should the partial coherence be calculated. Set as FALSE by default.

Details

Given the evolutionary wavelet spectrum of a multivariate locally stationary time series, denoted by the matrix sequence S_{j,k}, then the coherence matrix for level j and location k is:

R_{j,k} = D_{j,k} S_{j,k} D_{j,k}

where D_{j,k} = diag\{ (S^{(p,p)}_{j,k})^{-0.5} : p=1,…,P \}. This measures the linear cross-dependence between different channels at a particular level.

Notate the inverse spectrum matrix as G_{j,k} = S^{-1}_{j,k}, then the partial coherence matrix for level j and location k is derived as follows:

Γ_{j,k} = -H_{j,k} G_{j,k} H_{j,k}

where H_{j,k} = diag\{ (G^{(p,p)}_{j,k})^{-0.5} : p=1,…,P \}. This measures the coherence between channels after removing the linear effects if all other channels and so enable the distinction between direct and indirect linear dependency between channels.

For valid calculations of (partial) coherence, values within [-1,1], it is important that the spectral matrices are positive definite.

Value

An object of class mvLSW, invisibly.

Examples

## Sample tri-variate time series
##  Series 2 & 3 are dependent indirectly via Series 1
set.seed(100)
X <- matrix(rnorm(3 * 2^8), ncol = 3)
X[1:192, 2] <- X[1:192, 2] + 0.95 * X[1:192, 1]
X[65:256, 3] <- X[65:256, 3] - 0.95 * X[65:256, 1]
X <- as.ts(X)

## Evolutionary Wavelet Spectrum
EWS <- mvEWS(X, filter.number = 4, kernel.name = "daniell", 
  kernel.param = 20)

## Coherence
RHO <- coherence(EWS, partial = FALSE)
plot(RHO, style = 2, info = 1, ylab = "Coherence", diag = FALSE)

## Partial Coherence
PRHO <- coherence(EWS, partial = TRUE)
plot(PRHO, style = 2, info = 1, ylab = "P. Coh.", diag = FALSE) 
#series 2&3 are closer to 0
