delta: delta test of conditional independence

In tsDyn: Nonlinear Time Series Models with Regime Switching

delta test of conditional independence

Description

delta statistic of conditional independence and associated bootstrap test

Usage

delta(x, m, d = 1, eps)

delta.test(
  x,
  m = 2:3,
  d = 1,
  eps = seq(0.5 * sd(x), 2 * sd(x), length = 4),
  B = 49
)

Arguments

x	time series
m	vector of embedding dimensions
d	time delay
eps	vector of length scales
B	number of bootstrap replications

Details

delta statistic of conditional independence and associated bootstrap test. For details, see Manzan(2003).

Value

delta returns the computed delta statistic. delta.test returns the bootstrap based 1-sided p-value.

Warning

Results are sensible to the choice of the window eps. So, try the test for a grid of m and eps values. Also, be aware of the course of dimensionality: m can't be too high for relatively small time series. See references for further details.
