patternchange: Changepoint Detection Using Ordinal Patterns

In ordinalpattern: Tests Based on Ordinal Patterns

Changepoint Detection Using Ordinal Patterns

Description

Test for a change in the dependence structure of two time series using ordinal patterns

Usage

patternchange(tsx,tsy,h=2,conf.level,weight=TRUE,weightfun=NULL,bn=log(length(tsx)),
    kernel=function(x){return(max(0,1-abs(x)))})

## S3 method for class 'change'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

tsx	numeric vector of first univariate time series.
tsy	numeric vector of second univariate time series.
h	numeric value determining the length of ordinal pattern.
conf.level	numerical value indicating the confidence level of the test.
weight	logical value indicating whether one uses weights of the L1 norm or the empirical probability of identical patterns; see details.
weightfun	function which defines the weights given the L1 norm between the patterns if weight=TRUE. If no weight-function is given, the canonical weight function is used; see details.
bn	numerical value determining the bandwidth of the kernel estimator used to estimate the long run variance.
kernel	kernel function for estimating the long run variance.
x	object of class "change"
...	further arguments passed to the internal plotting function (plot).

Details

Given two timeseries tsx and tsy a cusum type statistic tests whether there is a change in the patter dependence or not. The test is based on a comparison of patterns of length h+1 in tsx and tsy. One can either choose the number of identical patterns (weight=FALSE) or a metric that is defined by the weightfun argument to measure the difference between patterns (weight=TRUE). If no (weightfun) is given, the canonical weightfunction is used, which equals 1 if patterns are identical and 0 if the L1 norm of their difference attains the maximal possible value. The value is linear interpolated in between.

The procedure depends on an estimate of the long run variance. Here a kernel estimator is used. A kernel function and a bandwidth can be set using the arguments kernel and bn. If none of them is given, the bartlett kernel with a bandwidth of log(n), where n equals the length of the timeseries, is used.

Value

Object with classes "change" and "htest" containing the following values:

statistic	the value of the test statistic. Under the null the test statistic follows asymptotically a Kolmogorov Smirnov distribution.
p.value	the p-value of the test.
estimate	the estimated time of change.
null.value	the jump height of the at most one change point model, which is under the null hypothesis always 0.
alternative	a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.
method	a characters string describing the test.
trajectory	the cumulative sum on which the tests are based on. Could be used for additional plots.
