psy_minw: Helper functions in accordance to PSY(2015)
Description
psy_minw and psy_ds use the rules-of- thumb proposed by
Phillips et al. (2015) to compute the minimum window size and the
minimum duration of an episode of exuberance, respectively.
Usage
psy_minw(n)
psy_ds(n, rule = 1, delta = 1)
Arguments
n
A positive integer. The sample size.
rule
Rule to compute the minimum duration of an episode (default: rule = 1,
where T denotes the sample size). Rule 1 corresponds to log(T), while rule 2 to log(T)/T.
delta
Frequency-dependent parameter (default; delta = 1). See details.
Details
For the minimum duration period, psy_ds allows the user to choose from two rules:
delta depends on the frequency of the data and the minimal duration condition.
