ASSA Method for Non-stationary Identification

Description

ASSA (Analytic Stationary Subspace Analysis) method for identifying non-stationary components of mean and variance.

Usage

ASSA(X, ...)

## Default S3 method:
ASSA(X, K, n.cuts = NULL, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ts'
ASSA(X, ...)

Arguments

X	A numeric matrix or a multivariate time series object of class ts, xts or zoo. Missing values are not allowed.
K	Number of intervals the time series is split into.
n.cuts	A K+1 vector of values that correspond to the breaks which are used for splitting the data. Default is intervals of equal length.
...	Further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

Details

Assume that a p-variate Y with T observations is whitened, i.e. Y = S^(-1/2)*(X_t - (1/T)*sum_t(X_t)), for t = 1, …, T, where S is the sample covariance matrix of X.

The values of Y are then split into K disjoint intervals T_i. Algorithm first calculates matrix

M = (1/T)*sum[m_ti m_Ti' + (1/2)*S_Ti S_Ti'] - I/2,

where i = 1, …, K, K is the number of breakpoints, I is an identity matrix, and m_Ti is the average of values of Y and S_Ti is the sample variance of values of Y which belong to a disjoint interval T_i.

The algorithm finds an orthogonal matrix U via eigendecomposition

M = UDU^T.

The final unmixing matrix is then W = U S^(-1/2). The first k rows of U are the eigenvectors corresponding to the non-zero eigenvalues and the rest correspond to the zero eigenvalues. In the same way, the first k rows of W project the observed time series to the subspace of non-stationary components, and the last p-k rows to the subspace of stationary components.

Value

A list of class 'ssabss', inheriting from class 'bss', containing the following components:

W	The estimated unmixing matrix.
S	The estimated sources as time series object standardized to have mean 0 and unit variances.
M	Used separation matrix.
K	Number of intervals the time series is split into.
D	Eigenvalues of M.
MU	The mean vector of X.
n.cut	Used K+1 vector of values that correspond to the breaks which are used for splitting the data.
method	Name of the method ("ASSA"), to be used in e.g. screeplot.

Examples

n <- 5000
A <- rorth(4)

z1 <- arima.sim(n, model = list(ar = 0.7)) + rep(c(-1.52, 1.38), c(floor(n*0.5),
        n - floor(n*0.5)))
z2 <- rtvvar(n, alpha = 0.1, beta = 1)
z3 <- arima.sim(n, model = list(ma = c(0.72, 0.24))) 
z4 <- arima.sim(n, model = list(ar = c(0.34, 0.27, 0.18)))

Z <- cbind(z1, z2, z3, z4)
X <- as.ts(tcrossprod(Z, A)) # An mts object

res <- ASSA(X, K = 6)
screeplot(res, type = "lines") # Two non-zero eigenvalues

# Plotting the components as an mts object
plot(res) # The first two are nonstationary
