util_singlediff_ts: Single Differencing to Make Time Series Stationary

In spsanderson/healthyR.ts: The Time Series Modeling Companion to 'healthyR'

Single Differencing to Make Time Series Stationary

Description

This function attempts to make a non-stationary time series stationary by applying single differencing. It iteratively increases the differencing order until stationarity is achieved.

Usage

util_singlediff_ts(.time_series)

Arguments

.time_series

A time series object to be made stationary.

Details

The function calculates the frequency of the input time series using the stats::frequency function. It then applies single differencing incrementally until the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test indicates stationarity (p-value < 0.05) or until the differencing order reaches the frequency of the data.

If single differencing successfully makes the time series stationary, it returns the stationary time series and related information as a list with the following elements:

• stationary_ts: The stationary time series after differencing.

• ndiffs: The order of differencing applied to make it stationary.

• adf_stats: Augmented Dickey-Fuller test statistics on the stationary time series.

• trans_type: Transformation type, which is "diff" in this case.

• ret: TRUE to indicate a successful transformation.

If the data requires more single differencing than its frequency allows, it informs the user and returns a list with ret set to FALSE, indicating that double differencing may be needed.

Value

If the time series is already stationary or the single differencing is successful, it returns a list as described in the details section. If additional differencing is required, it informs the user and returns a list with ret set to FALSE.
