influence: Assessment of local influence in SYMARMA models

In sym.arma: Autoregressive and Moving Average Symmetric Models

Description

This function discusses local influence analysis in SYMARMA models with Student-t and Gaussian distributions through Billor and Loyne's slope, Cook's curvature and Lesaffre and Verbeke's curvature using the methodology of benchmarks proposed by Zhang and King. Although this function is concerned primarily with local influence, some discussion of assessing global influence is presented.

Usage

influence(model, diag="slope", scheme="additive",iter=2000,
 alpha=0.95, theta=0.05, plot="TRUE")

Arguments

model	a result of a call to elliptical.ts.
diag	a description of the diagnostic method: “slope” for Billor and Loyne's, “cook” for Cook's and “lv” for Lesaffre and Verbeke's. The default is to slope.
scheme	a description of the perturbation scheme: “additive” for data additive perturbation and “dispersion” for dispersion parameter perturbation. The default is to additive.
iter	integer giving the number of iterations for construction of benckmarks. Default is 2,000 iterations.
alpha	percentile for benchmarks in assessing global influence (BS_0 and BC_0) and first assessing local influence (BS_1 and BC_1), e.g., 0.95.
theta	percentile for benchmarks in assessing global influence second assessing local influence (BS_2 and BC_2), e.g., 0.05.
plot	a logical indicating if plot should be produced.

Value

Indiv1	individual benchmark type I.
Indiv2	individual benchmark type II.
VectorInd	slope or curvature vector.
