makewpstRO: Make a wavelet packet regression object from a dependent and...

makewpstROR Documentation

Make a wavelet packet regression object from a dependent and independent time series variable.

Description

The idea here is to try and build facilities to enable a transfer function model along the lines of that described by Nason and Sapatinas 2002 in Statistics and Computing. The idea is to turn the timeseries variable into a set of nondecimated wavelet packets which are already pre-selected to have some semblance of relationship to the response time series. The function does not actually perform any regression, in contrast to the related makewpstDO but returns a data frame which the user can use to build their own models.

Usage

makewpstRO(timeseries, response, filter.number = 10,
    family = "DaubExPhase", trans = logabs, percentage = 10)

Arguments

timeseries

The dependent variable time series. This series is decomposed using the wpst function into nondecimated wavelet packets, need to be a power of two length.

response

The independent or response time series.

filter.number

The type of wavelet used within family, see filter.select.

family

The family of wavelet, see filter.select

trans

A transform to apply to the nondecimated wavelet packet coefficients before any selection

percentage

The top percentage of nondecimated wavelet packets that correlated best with the response series will be preselected.

Details

The idea behind this methodology is that a response time series might not be directly related to the dependent timeseries time series, but it might be related to the nondecimated wavelet packets of the timeseries, these packets can pick out various features of the timeseries including certain delays, oscillations and others.

The best packets (the number if controlled by percentage), those that correlate best with response are selected and returned. The response and the best nondecimated wavelet packets are returned in a data frame object and then any convenient form of statistical modeling can be used to build a model of the response in terms of the packet variables.

Once a model has been built it can be interpreted in the usual way, but with respect to nondecimated wavelet packets.

Note that nondecimated wavelet packets are essential, as they are all of the same length as the original response series. If a decimated wavelet packet algorithm had been used then it is not clear what to do with the "gaps"!

If new timeseries data comes along the wpstREGR function can be used to extract the identical packets as the ones produced by this function (as the result of this function stores the identities of these packets). Then the statistical modelling that build the model from the output of this function, can be used to predict future values of the response time series from future values of the timeseries series.

Value

An object of class wpstRO containing the following items

df

A data frame containing the response time series and a number of columns/variables/packets that correlated with response series. These are all entitled "Xn" where n is some integer

ixvec

A packet index vector. After taking the nondecimated wavelet packet transform, all the packets are stored in a matrix. This vector indicates those that were preselected

level

The original level from which the preselected vectors came from

pktix

Another index vector, this time referring to the original wavelet packet object, not the matrix in which they subsequently got stored

nlevelsWT

The number of resolution levels in the original wavelet packet object

cv

The correlation vector. These are the values of the correlations of the packets with the response, then sorted in terms of decreasing absolute correlation

filter

The wavelet filter details

trans

The transformation function actually used
