dwpt.sim: Simulate Seasonal Persistent Processes Using the DWPT

In waveslim: Basic Wavelet Routines for One-, Two- and Three-dimensional Signal Processing

Description

A seasonal persistent process may be characterized by a spectral density function with an asymptote occuring at a particular frequency in [0,1/2). It's time domain representation was first noted in passing by Hosking (1981). Although an exact time-domain approach to simulation is possible, this function utilizes the discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT).

Usage

dwpt.sim(N, wf, delta, fG, M=2, adaptive=TRUE, epsilon=0.05)

Arguments

N	Length of time series to be generated.
wf	Character string for the wavelet filter.
delta	Long-memory parameter for the seasonal persistent process.
fG	Gegenbauer frequency.
M	Actual length of simulated time series.
adaptive	Logical; if TRUE the orthonormal basis used in the DWPT is adapted to the ideal spectrum, otherwise the orthonormal basis is performed to a maximum depth.
epsilon	Threshold for adaptive basis selection.

Details

Two subroutines are used, the first selects an adaptive orthonormal basis for the true spectral density function (SDF) while the second computes the bandpass variances associated with the chosen orthonormal basis and SDF. Finally, when \code{M} > \code{N} a uniform random variable is generated in order to select a random piece of the simulated time series. For more details see Whitcher (2001).

Value

Time series of length N.

## Generate monthly time series with annual oscillation
## library(ts) is required in order to access acf()
x <- dwpt.sim(256, "mb16", .4, 1/12, M=4, epsilon=.001)
par(mfrow=c(2,1))
plot(x, type="l", xlab="Time")
acf(x, lag.max=128, ylim=c(-.6,1))
