xwt: Compute cross-wavelet

Description

Compute cross-wavelet

Usage

xwt(
  d1,
  d2,
  pad = TRUE,
  dj = 1/12,
  s0 = 2 * dt,
  J1 = NULL,
  max.scale = NULL,
  mother = "morlet",
  param = -1,
  lag1 = NULL,
  sig.level = 0.95,
  sig.test = 0,
  arima.method = "CSS"
)

Value

Returns a biwavelet object containing:

coi

matrix containg cone of influence

wave

matrix containing the cross-wavelet transform

wave.corr

matrix containing the bias-corrected cross-wavelet transform using the method described by Veleda et al. (2012)

power

matrix of power

power.corr

matrix of bias-corrected cross-wavelet power using the method described by Veleda et al. (2012)

phase

matrix of phases

period

vector of periods

scale

vector of scales

dt

length of a time step

t

vector of times

xaxis

vector of values used to plot xaxis

s0

smallest scale of the wavelet

dj

spacing between successive scales

d1.sigma

standard deviation of time series 1

d2.sigma

standard deviation of time series 2

mother

mother wavelet used

type

type of biwavelet object created (xwt)

signif

matrix containg significance levels

Arguments

d1

Time series 1 in matrix format (n rows x 2 columns). The first column should contain the time steps and the second column should contain the values.

d2

Time series 2 in matrix format (n rows x 2 columns). The first column should contain the time steps and the second column should contain the values.

pad

Pad the values will with zeros to increase the speed of the transform.

dj

Spacing between successive scales.

s0

Smallest scale of the wavelet.

J1

Number of scales - 1.

max.scale

Maximum scale. Computed automatically if left unspecified.

mother

Type of mother wavelet function to use. Can be set to morlet, dog, or paul. Significance testing is only available for morlet wavelet.

param

Nondimensional parameter specific to the wavelet function.

lag1

Vector containing the AR(1) coefficient of each time series.

sig.level

Significance level.

sig.test

Type of significance test. If set to 0, use a regular \(\chi^2\) test. If set to 1, then perform a time-average test. If set to 2, then do a scale-average test.

arima.method

Fitting method. This parameter is passed as the method parameter to the arima function.

Examples

t1 <- cbind(1:100, rnorm(100))
t2 <- cbind(1:100, rnorm(100))

# Compute Cross-wavelet
xwt.t1t2 <- xwt(t1, t2)
plot(xwt.t1t2, plot.cb = TRUE, plot.phase = TRUE,
     main = "Plot cross-wavelet and phase difference (arrows)")

# Real data
data(enviro.data)

# Cross-wavelet of MEI and NPGO
xwt.mei.npgo <- xwt(subset(enviro.data, select = c("date", "mei")),
                    subset(enviro.data, select = c("date", "npgo")))

# Make room to the right for the color bar
par(oma = c(0, 0, 0, 1), mar = c(5, 4, 4, 5) + 0.1)
plot(xwt.mei.npgo, plot.cb = TRUE, plot.phase = TRUE)
