sm.autoregression: Nonparametric estimation of the autoregression function
Description
This function estimates nonparametrically the autoregression function
(conditional mean given the past values) of a time series x,
assumed to be stationary.
Usage
sm.autoregression(x, h = hnorm(x), d = 1, maxlag = d, lags,
se = FALSE, ask = TRUE)
Value
a list with the outcome of the final estimation (corresponding to
the last value or pairs of values of lags), as returned by sm.regression.
Arguments
x
vector containing the time series values.
h
the bandwidth used for kernel smoothing.
d
number of past observations used for conditioning; it must be 1
(default value) or 2.
maxlag
maximum of the lagged values to be considered (default value is d).
lags
if d==1, this is a vector containing the lags considered for conditioning;
if d==2, this is a matrix with two columns, whose rows contains pair of
values considered for conditioning.
se
if se==T, pointwise confidence bands are computed of approximate level 95%.
ask
if ask==TRUE, the program pauses after each plot until <Enter> is pressed.
Side Effects
graphical output is produced on the current device.
