In ssaBSS: Stationary Subspace Analysis

Identification of Non-stationarity in Mean

Description

SSAsir method for identifying non-stationarity in mean.

Usage

SSAsir(X, ...)

## Default S3 method:
SSAsir(X, K, n.cuts = NULL, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ts'
SSAsir(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 = sum((T_i/(T)) m_Ti m_Ti'),

where i = 1, …, K, K is the number of breakpoints, and m_Ti is the average 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 components with non-stationary mean, and the last p-k rows to the subspace of components with stationary mean.

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 ("SSAsir"), 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 <- arima.sim(n, model = list(ar = 0.5)) + rep(c(-0.75, 0.84, -0.45),
        c(floor(n/3), floor(n/3), n - 2*floor(n/3)))
z3 <- arima.sim(n, model = list(ma = 0.72))
z4 <- arima.sim(n, model = list(ma = c(0.34)))

Z <- cbind(z1, z2, z3, z4)
X <- tcrossprod(Z, A)

res <- SSAsir(X, K = 6)
res$D # Two non-zero eigenvalues
screeplot(res, type = "lines") # This can also be seen in screeplot

# Plotting the components
plot(res) # The first two are nonstationary in mean
