standardErrors: Calculate standard errors for estimates of GMAR, StMAR or GStMAR model

Description

standardErrors numerically approximates standard errors for the given estimates of GMAR, StMAR or GStMAR model

Usage

standardErrors(data, p, M, params, model = c("GMAR", "StMAR", "G-StMAR"),
  restricted = FALSE, constraints = NULL, conditional = TRUE,
  parametrization = c("intercept", "mean"), minval)

Arguments

data

a numeric vector class 'ts' object containing the data. NA values are not supported.

a positive integer specifying the order of AR coefficients.

For GMAR and StMAR models:: a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components.
For G-StMAR model:: a size (2x1) vector specifying the number of GMAR-type components M1 in the first element and StMAR-type components M2 in the second. The total number of mixture components is M=M1+M2.

params

a real valued parameter vector specifying the model.

For non-restricted models:

For GMAR model:: Size \((M(p+3)-1x1)\) vector \(\theta\)\(=\)(\(\upsilon_{1}\),...,\(\upsilon_{M}\), \(\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}\)), where \(\upsilon_{m}\)\(=(\phi_{m,0},\)\(\phi_{m}\)\(, \sigma_{m}^2)\) and \(\phi_{m}\)=\((\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p}), m=1,...,M\).
For StMAR model:: Size \((M(p+4)-1x1)\) vector (\(\theta, \nu\))\(=\)(\(\upsilon_{1}\),...,\(\upsilon_{M}\), \(\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}, \nu_{1},...,\nu_{M}\)).
For G-StMAR model:: Size \((M(p+3)+M2-1x1)\) vector (\(\theta, \nu\))\(=\)(\(\upsilon_{1}\),...,\(\upsilon_{M}\), \(\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}, \nu_{M1+1},...,\nu_{M}\)).
With linear constraints:: Replace the vectors \(\phi_{m}\) with vectors \(\psi_{m}\) and provide a list of constraint matrices C that satisfy \(\phi_{m}\)\(=\)\(R_{m}\psi_{m}\) for all \(m=1,...,M\), where \(\psi_{m}\)\(=(\psi_{m,1},...,\psi_{m,q_{m}})\).

For restricted models:

For GMAR model:: Size \((3M+p-1x1)\) vector \(\theta\)\(=(\phi_{1,0},...,\phi_{M,0},\)\(\phi\)\(, \sigma_{1}^2,...,\sigma_{M}^2,\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1})\), where \(\phi\)=\((\phi_{1},...,\phi_{M})\).
For StMAR model:: Size \((4M+p-1x1)\) vector (\(\theta, \nu\))\(=(\phi_{1,0},...,\phi_{M,0},\)\(\phi\)\(, \sigma_{1}^2,...,\sigma_{M}^2,\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}, \nu_{1},...,\nu_{M})\).
For G-StMAR model:: Size \((3M+M2+p-1x1)\) vector (\(\theta, \nu\))\(=(\phi_{1,0},...,\phi_{M,0},\)\(\phi\)\(, \sigma_{1}^2,...,\sigma_{M}^2,\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}, \nu_{M1+1},...,\nu_{M})\).
With linear constraints:: Replace the vector \(\phi\) with vector \(\psi\) and provide a constraint matrix \(C\) that satisfies \(\phi\)\(=\)\(R\psi\), where \(\psi\)\(=(\psi_{1},...,\psi_{q})\).

Symbol \(\phi\) denotes an AR coefficient, \(\sigma^2\) a variance, \(\alpha\) a mixing weight and \(\nu\) a degrees of freedom parameter. If parametrization=="mean" just replace each intercept term \(\phi_{m,0}\) with regimewise mean \(\mu_m = \phi_{m,0}/(1-\sum\phi_{i,m})\). In the G-StMAR model the first M1 components are GMAR-type and the rest M2 components are StMAR-type. Note that in the case M=1 the parameter \(\alpha\) is dropped, and in the case of StMAR or G-StMAR model the degrees of freedom parameters \(\nu_{m}\) have to be larger than \(2\).

model

is "GMAR", "StMAR" or "G-StMAR" model considered? In G-StMAR model the first M1 components are GMAR-type and the rest M2 components are StMAR-type.

restricted

a logical argument stating whether the AR coefficients \(\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p}\) are restricted to be the same for all regimes.

constraints

specifies linear constraints applied to the autoregressive parameters.

For non-restricted models:: a list of size \((pxq_{m})\) constraint matrices \(C_{m}\) of full column rank satisfying \(\phi_{m}\)\(=\)\(C_{m}\psi_{m}\) for all \(m=1,...,M\), where \(\phi_{m}\)\(=(\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p})\) and \(\psi_{m}\)\(=(\psi_{m,1},...,\psi_{m,q_{m}})\).
For restricted models:: a size \((pxq)\) constraint matrix \(C\) of full column rank satisfying \(\phi\)\(=\)\(C\psi\), where \(\phi\)\(=(\phi_{1},...,\phi_{p})\) and \(\psi\)\(=\psi_{1},...,\psi_{q}\).

Symbol \(\phi\) denotes an AR coefficient. Note that regardless of any constraints, the nominal order of AR coefficients is alway p for all regimes. Ignore or set to NULL if applying linear constraints is not desired.

conditional

a logical argument specifying whether the conditional or exact log-likelihood function should be used.

parametrization

is the model parametrized with the "intercepts" \(\phi_{m,0}\) or "means" \(\mu_m = \phi_{m,0}/(1-\sum\phi_{i,m})\)?

minval

this will be returned when the parameter vector is outside the parameter space.

Value

Approximate standard errors of the parameter values
