pick_dfs: Pick degrees of freedom parameters from a parameter vector

In uGMAR: Estimate Univariate Gaussian and Student's t Mixture Autoregressive Models

Pick degrees of freedom parameters from a parameter vector

Description

pick_dfs picks and returns the degrees of freedom parameters from the given parameter vector.

Usage

pick_dfs(p, M, params, model = c("GMAR", "StMAR", "G-StMAR"))

Arguments

p	a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.
M	For GMAR and StMAR models: a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components. For G-StMAR models: a size (2x1) integer vector specifying the number of GMAR type components M1 in the first element and StMAR type components M2 in the second element. The total number of mixture components is M=M1+M2.
params	a real valued parameter vector specifying the model. For non-restricted models: Size (M(p+3)+M-M1-1x1) vector \theta=(\upsilon_{1},...,\upsilon_{M}, \alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1},\nu) where \upsilon_{m}=(\phi_{m,0},\phi_{m},\sigma_{m}^2) \phi_{m}=(\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p}), m=1,...,M \nu=(\nu_{M1+1},...,\nu_{M}) M1 is the number of GMAR type regimes. In the GMAR model, M1=M and the parameter \nu dropped. In the StMAR model, M1=0. If the model imposes linear constraints on the autoregressive parameters: Replace the vectors \phi_{m} with the vectors \psi_{m} that satisfy \phi_{m}=C_{m}\psi_{m} (see the argument constraints). For restricted models: Size (3M+M-M1+p-1x1) vector \theta=(\phi_{1,0},...,\phi_{M,0},\phi, \sigma_{1}^2,...,\sigma_{M}^2,\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1},\nu), where \phi=(\phi_{1},...,\phi_{p}) contains the AR coefficients, which are common for all regimes. If the model imposes linear constraints on the autoregressive parameters: Replace the vector \phi with the vector \psi that satisfies \phi=C\psi (see the argument constraints). Symbol \phi denotes an AR coefficient, \sigma^2 a variance, \alpha a mixing weight, and \nu a degrees of freedom parameter. If parametrization=="mean", just replace each intercept term \phi_{m,0} with the regimewise mean \mu_m = \phi_{m,0}/(1-\sum\phi_{i,m}). In the G-StMAR model, the first M1 components are GMAR type and the rest M2 components are StMAR type. Note that in the case M=1, the mixing weight parameters \alpha are dropped, and in the case of StMAR or G-StMAR model, the degrees of freedom parameters \nu have to be larger than 2.
model	is "GMAR", "StMAR", or "G-StMAR" model considered? In the G-StMAR model, the first M1 components are GMAR type and the rest M2 components are StMAR type.

Value

Returns a vector of length M or M2 containing the degrees of freedom parameters.
