cordist: A Correlation Distance Measure
In rmgarch: Multivariate GARCH models

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References

Given an array of correlation snapshots in time, returns a matrix of some rolling distance measure on the correlations.

1 2	cordist(R, distance = c("ma","ms","meda","meds","eigen", "cmd"), n = 25, plot = TRUE, dates = NULL, title = NULL)

`R`	An array of correlations.
`distance`	The measure to use to capture the change between 2 correlation matrices (see details).
`n`	The distance between 2 correlation matrices.
`plot`	Whether to create a heatmap plot of the result.
`dates`	A `POSIXct` vector of dates to use for the heatmap (recommend to supply).
`title`	Title for the heatmap plot.

This function provides for a visualization of dynamic correlation distance between periods with a number of plausible measures including “ma” (mean absolute), “ms” (mean squared), “meda” (median absolute), “meds” (median squared) “eigen” (largest eigenvalue difference) and “cmd” (correlation matrix distance). See the references for more details.

A symmetric matrix of the rolling distance measure for each period.
