decevf: Time series decomposition using eigenvector filtering (EVF)

decevfR Documentation

Time series decomposition using eigenvector filtering (EVF)

Description

The eigenvector filtering decomposes the signal by applying a principal component analysis (PCA) on the original signal and a certain number of copies of it incrementally lagged, collected in a multivariate matrix. Reconstructing the signal using only the most representative eigenvectors allows filtering it.

Usage

decevf(x, type="additive", lag=5, axes=1:2)

Arguments

x

a regular time series ('rts' under S+ and 'ts' under R)

type

the type of model, either type="additive" (by default), or type="multiplicative"

lag

The maximum lag used. A PCA is run on the matrix constituted by vectors lagged from 0 to lag. The defaulf value is 5, but a value corresponding to no significant autocorrelation, on basis of examination of the autocorrelation plot obtained by acf in the library 'ts' should be used (Lag at first time the autocorrelation curve crosses significance lines multiplied by the frequency of the series).

axes

The principal axes to use to reconstruct the filtered signal. For instance, to use axes 2 and 4, use axes=c(2,4). By default, the first two axes are considered (axes=1:2)

Value

a 'tsd' object

Examples

data(releve)
melo.regy <- regul(releve$Day, releve$Melosul, xmin=9, n=87,
        units="daystoyears", frequency=24, tol=2.2, methods="linear",

melo.ts <- tseries(melo.regy)
acf(melo.ts)
# Autocorrelation is not significant after 0.16
# That corresponds to a lag of 0.16*24=4 (frequency=24)
melo.evf <- decevf(melo.ts, lag=4, axes=1)
plot(melo.evf, col=c(1, 4, 2))
# A superposed graph is better in the present case
plot(melo.evf, col=c(1, 4), xlab="stations", stack=FALSE, resid=FALSE,
        lpos=c(0, 60000))
