gmwm: Generalized Method of Wavelet Moments (GMWM) for IMUs, ARMA, SSM, and Robust

Description

Performs estimation of time series models by using the GMWM estimator.

Usage

gmwm(model, data, model.type = "ssm", compute.v = "auto",
  robust = FALSE, eff = 0.6, alpha = 0.05, seed = 1337, G = NULL,
  K = 1, H = 100, freq = 1)

Arguments

model

A ts.model object containing one of the allowed models.

data

A matrix or data.frame object with only column (e.g. \(N \times 1\)), a lts object, or a gts object.

model.type

A string containing the type of GMWM needed: "imu" or "ssm".

compute.v

A string indicating the type of covariance matrix solver. Valid values are: "fast", "bootstrap", "diag" (asymptotic diag), "full" (asymptotic full). By default, the program will fit a "fast" model.

robust

A boolean indicating whether to use the robust computation (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

eff

A double between 0 and 1 that indicates the efficiency.

alpha

A double between 0 and 1 that correspondings to the \(\frac{\alpha}{2}\) value for the wavelet confidence intervals.

seed

An integer that controls the reproducibility of the auto model selection phase.

G

An integer to sample the space for IMU and SSM models to ensure optimal identitability.

K

An integer that controls how many times the bootstrapping procedure will be initiated.

H

An integer that indicates how many different samples the bootstrap will be collect.

freq

A double that indicates the sampling frequency. By default, this is set to 1 and only is important if GM() is in the model

Details

This function is under work. Some of the features are active. Others... Not so much.

The V matrix is calculated by: \(diag\left[ {{{\left( {Hi - Lo} \right)}^2}} \right]\).

The function is implemented in the following manner: 1. Calculate MODWT of data with levels = floor(log2(data)) 2. Apply the brick.wall of the MODWT (e.g. remove boundary values) 3. Compute the empirical wavelet variance (WV Empirical). 4. Obtain the V matrix by squaring the difference of the WV Empirical's Chi-squared confidence interval (hi - lo)^2 5. Optimize the values to obtain \(\hat{\theta}\) 6. If FAST = TRUE, return these results. Else, continue.

Loop k = 1 to K Loop h = 1 to H 7. Simulate xt under \(F_{\hat{\theta}}\) 8. Compute WV Empirical END 9. Calculate the covariance matrix 10. Optimize the values to obtain \(\hat{\theta}\) END 11. Return optimized values.

The function estimates a variety of time series models. If type = "imu" or "ssm", then parameter vector should indicate the characters of the models that compose the latent or state-space model. The model options are:

"AR1"

a first order autoregressive process with parameters \((\phi,\sigma^2)\)

"GM"

a guass-markov process \((\beta,\sigma_{gm}^2)\)

"ARMA"

an autoregressive moving average process with parameters \((\phi _p, \theta _q, \sigma^2)\)

"DR"

a drift with parameter \(\omega\)

"QN"

a quantization noise process with parameter \(Q\)

"RW"

a random walk process with parameter \(\sigma^2\)

"WN"

a white noise process with parameter \(\sigma^2\)

If only an ARMA() term is supplied, then the function takes conditional least squares as starting values If robust = TRUE the function takes the robust estimate of the wavelet variance to be used in the GMWM estimation procedure.
