cov_kernel: Kernel estimation: bootstrap method

In E-Caron/slm: Stationary Linear Models

Description

This method estimates the spectral density and the autocovariances of the error process via a lag-window (or kernel) estimator (see P.J. Brockwell and R.A. Davis (1991). Time Series: Theory and Methods. Springer Science & Business Media, page 330). The weights are computed according to a kernel K and a bandwidth h (or a lag), to be chosen by the user. The lag can be computed automatically by using a bootstrap technique (as in Wu and Pourahmadi (2009)), via the Rboot function.

Usage

cov_kernel(epsilon, model_selec = -1,
 model_max = min(50,length(epsilon)/2), kernel_fonc = triangle,
 block_size = length(epsilon)/2, block_n = 100, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

epsilon	an univariate process.
model_selec	the order of the method. If model_selec = -1, the method chooses the treshold automatically. If model_selec = k, then only k autocovariance terms are kept and smoothed by the kernel.
model_max	the maximal order.
kernel_fonc	define the kernel to use in the method. The user can give his own kernel function.
block_size	size of the bootstrap blocks. block_size must be greater than model_max.
block_n	blocks number to use for the bootstrap.
plot	logical. By default, plot = FALSE. If plot = TRUE, the risk curve is returned and the ACF of the process.

Value

The method returns the tapered autocovariance vector with model_selec autocovariance terms.

model_selec	the number of selected autocovariance terms.
cov_st	the estimated autocovariances.
