sim.sma: Simulate Simple Moving Average

In smooth: Forecasting Using State Space Models

Simulate Simple Moving Average

Description

Function generates data using SMA in a Single Source of Error state space model as a data generating process.

Usage

sim.sma(order = NULL, obs = 10, nsim = 1, frequency = 1,
  initial = NULL, randomizer = c("rnorm", "rt", "rlaplace", "rs"),
  probability = 1, ...)

Arguments

order	Order of the modelled series. If omitted, then a random order from 1 to 100 is selected.
obs	Number of observations in each generated time series.
nsim	Number of series to generate (number of simulations to do).
frequency	Frequency of generated data. In cases of seasonal models must be greater than 1.
initial	Vector of initial states for the model. If NULL, values are generated.
randomizer	Type of random number generator function used for error term. Defaults are: rnorm, rt, rlaplace and rs. rlnorm should be used for multiplicative models (e.g. ETS(M,N,N)). But any function from Distributions will do the trick if the appropriate parameters are passed. For example rpois with lambda=2 can be used as well, but might result in weird values.
probability	Probability of occurrence, used for intermittent data generation. This can be a vector, implying that probability varies in time (in TSB or Croston style).
...	Additional parameters passed to the chosen randomizer. All the parameters should be passed in the order they are used in chosen randomizer. For example, passing just sd=0.5 to rnorm function will lead to the call rnorm(obs, mean=0.5, sd=1).

Value

List of the following values is returned:

• model - Name of SMA model.

• data - Time series vector (or matrix if nsim>1) of the generated series.

• states - Matrix (or array if nsim>1) of states. States are in columns, time is in rows.

• initial - Vector (or matrix) of initial values.

• probability - vector of probabilities used in the simulation.

• intermittent - type of the intermittent model used.

• residuals - Error terms used in the simulation. Either vector or matrix, depending on nsim.

• occurrence - Values of occurrence variable. Once again, can be either a vector or a matrix...

• logLik - Log-likelihood of the constructed model.
