The function plots the estimated auto-distance correlation function obtained by ADCF
and provides confindence intervals by employing three bootstrap based methods.
ADCFplot(x, MaxLag = 15, alpha = 0.05, b = 499, bootMethod =
c("Wild Bootstrap", "Subsampling", "Independent Bootstrap"), ylim = NULL, main = NULL)A plot of the estimated ADCF values. It also returns a list including:
The sample auto-distance correlation function for all lags specified by MaxLag.
The method followed for computing the \((1-\alpha)\)% confidence intervals of the plot.
The critical value shown in the plot.
A numeric vector or univariate time series.
The maximum lag order at which to plot ADCF. Default is 15.
The significance level used to construct the \((1-\alpha)\)% empirical critical values.
The number of bootstrap replications for constructing the \((1-\alpha)\)% empirical critical values. Default is 499.
A character string indicating the method to use for obtaining the \((1-\alpha)\)% critical values. Possible choices are "Wild Bootstrap" (the default), "Independent Bootstrap" and "Subsampling".
A numeric vector of length 2 indicating the y limits of the plot. The default value, NULL, indicates
that the range \((0,v)\), where \(v\) is the maximum number between 1 and the empirical critical values,
should be used.
The title of the plot.
Maria Pitsillou, Michail Tsagris and Konstantinos Fokianos.
Fokianos and Pitsillou (2018) showed that the sample auto-distance covariance function ADCV
(and thus ADCF) can be expressed as a V-statistic of order two, which under the null hypothesis
of independence is degenerate. Thus, constructing a plot analogous to the traditional autocorrelation plot where
the confidence intervals are obtained simultaneously, turns to be a complicated task. To overcome this issue, the
\((1-\alpha)\)% confidence intervals shown in the plot (dotted blue horizontal line) are computed simultaneously
via Monte Carlo simulation, and in particular via the independent wild bootstrap approach
(Dehling and Mikosch, 1994; Shao, 2010; Leucht and Neumann, 2013). The reader is referred to Fokianos and
Pitsillou (2018) for the steps followed. mADCFplot returns an analogous plot of the estimated
auto-distance correlation function for a multivariate time series.
One can also compute the pairwise \((1-\alpha)\)% critical values via the subsampling approach suggested by Zhou (2012, Section 5.1).That is, the critical values are obtained at each lag separately. The block size of the procedure is based on the minimum volatility method proposed by Politis et al. (1999, Section 9.4.2). In addition, the function provides the ordinary independent bootstrap methodology to derive simultaneous \((1-\alpha)\)% critical values.
