bootGcLC: Compute vector of n999 nonlinear Granger causality paths

Description

Maximum entropy bootstrap (meboot) package is used for statistical inference The bootstrap output can be analyzed to estimate an approximate confidence interval on sample-based direction of the causal path. The LC in the function name stands for local constant. Kernel regression np package options regtype="lc" for local constant, and bwmethod="cv.ls" for least squares-based bandwidth selection are fixed.

Usage

bootGcLC(x1, x2, px2 = 4, px1 = 4, pwanted = 4, ctrl = 0, n999 = 9)

Value

out is n999 X 3 matrix for 3 outputs of GcauseX12 resampled

Arguments

x1

The data vector x1

x2

The data vector x2

px2

number of lags of x2 in the data, default px2=4

px1

number of lags of x1 in the data default px1=4

pwanted

number of lags of both x2 and x1 wanted for Granger causal analysis, default =4

ctrl

data matrix having control variable(s) if any

n999

Number of bootstrap replications (default=9)
