Podolskij and Ziggel's Test for the Presence of Jumps Using Power Variation with Perturbed Truncation

Description

Performs a test for the null hypothesis that the realized path has no jump following Podolskij and Ziggel (2010).

Usage

pz.test(yuima, p = 4, threshold = "local", tau = 0.05)

Arguments

yuima	an object of yuima-class or yuima.data-class.
p	a positive number indicating the exponent of the (truncated) power variation to compute test statistic(s). Theoretically, it must be greater than or equal to 2.
threshold	a numeric vector or list indicating the threshold parameter(s). Each of its components indicates the threshold parameter or process to be used for estimating the corresponding component. If it is a numeric vector, the elements in threshold are recycled if there are two few elements in threshold. Alternatively, you can specify either "PZ" or "local" to automatically select a (hopefully) appropriate threshold. When threshold="PZ", selection is performed following Section 5.1 in Podolskij and Ziggel (2010). When threshold="local", selection is performed following Section 5.1 in Koike (2014). The default is threshold="local".
tau	a probability controlling the strength of perturbation. See Section 2.3 in Podolskij and Ziggel (2010) for details. Podolskij and Ziggel (2010) suggests using a relatively small value for tau, e.g. tau=0.1 or tau=0.05.

Value

A list with the same length as dim(yuima). Each component of the list has class “htest” and contains the following components:

statistic	the value of the test statistic of the corresponding component of yuima.
p.value	an approximate p-value for the test of the corresponding component.
method	the character string “Podolskij and Ziggel jump test”.
data.name	the character string “xi”, where i is the number of the component.

Note

Podolskij and Ziggel (2010) also introduce a pre-averaged version of the test to deal with noisy observations. Such a test will be implemented in the future version of the package.

# One-dimensional case
## Model: dXt=t*dWt+t*dzt, 
## where zt is a compound Poisson process with intensity 5 and jump sizes distribution N(0,1).
