add_data: Add data to object of class 'gsmar' defining a GMAR, StMAR, or G-StMAR model

Description

add_data adds or updates data to object of class 'gsmar' that defines a GMAR, StMAR, or G-StMAR model. Also calculates empirical mixing weights, conditional moments, and quantile residuals accordingly.

Usage

add_data(
  data,
  gsmar,
  calc_qresiduals = TRUE,
  calc_cond_moments = TRUE,
  calc_std_errors = FALSE,
  custom_h = NULL
)

Arguments

data

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

gsmar

object of class 'gsmar' created with the function fitGSMAR or GSMAR.

calc_qresiduals

should quantile residuals be calculated? Default is TRUE iff the model contains data.

calc_cond_moments

should conditional means and variances be calculated? Default is TRUE iff the model contains data.

calc_std_errors

should approximate standard errors be calculated?

custom_h

A numeric vector with same the length as the parameter vector: i:th element of custom_h is the difference used in central difference approximation for partial differentials of the log-likelihood function for the i:th parameter. If NULL (default), then the difference used for differentiating overly large degrees of freedom parameters is adjusted to avoid numerical problems, and the difference is 6e-6 for the other parameters.

Value

Returns an object of class 'gsmar' defining the GMAR, StMAR, or G-StMAR model with the data added to the model. If the object already contained data, the data will be updated. Does not modify the 'gsmar' object given as argument!
