Arguments

data

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

p

a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.

M
For GMAR and StMAR models:

a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components.

For G-StMAR models:

a size (2x1) integer vector specifying the number of GMAR type components M1 in the first element and StMAR type components M2 in the second element. 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 the 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 autoregressive order is always 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" \(\mu_m = \phi_{m,0}/(1-\sum\phi_{i,m})\)?

boundaries

a logical argument. If TRUE, then loglikelihood returns minval if...

  • some component variance is not larger than zero,

  • some parametrized mixing weight \(\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}\) is not larger than zero,

  • sum of the parametrized mixing weights is not smaller than one,

  • if the model is not stationary,

  • or if model=="StMAR" or model=="G-StMAR" and some degrees of freedom parameter \(\nu_{m}\) is not larger than two.

Argument minval will be used only if boundaries==TRUE.

checks

TRUE or FALSE specifying whether argument checks, such as stationarity checks, should be done.

to_return

should the returned object be the log-likelihood value, mixing weights, mixing weights including value for \(alpha_{m,T+1}\), a list containing log-likelihood value and mixing weights, the terms \(l_{t}: t=1,..,T\) in the log-likelihood function (see KMS 2015, eq.(13)), regimewise conditional means, regimewise conditional variances, total conditional means, total conditional variances, or quantile residuals? Default is the log-likelihood value ("loglik").

minval

this will be returned when the parameter vector is outside the parameter space and boundaries==TRUE.

Value

Note that the first p observations are taken as the initial values so the mixing weights and conditional moments start from the p+1:th observation (interpreted as t=1).

By default:

log-likelihood value of the specified model,

If to_return=="mw":

a size ((n_obs-p)xM) matrix containing the mixing weights: for m:th component in the m:th column.

If to_return=="mw_tplus1":

a size ((n_obs-p+1)xM) matrix containing the mixing weights: for m:th component in the m:th column. The last row is for \(\alpha_{m,T+1}\).

If to_return=="loglik_and_mw":

a list of two elements. The first element contains the log-likelihood value and the second element contains the mixing weights.

If to_return=="terms":

a size ((n_obs-p)x1) numeric vector containing the terms \(l_{t}\).

If to_return=="regime_cmeans":

a size ((n_obs-p)xM) matrix containing the regime specific conditional means.

If to_return=="regime_cvars":

a size ((n_obs-p)xM) matrix containing the regime specific conditional variances.

If to_return=="total_cmeans":

a size ((n_obs-p)x1) vector containing the total conditional means.

If to_return=="total_cvars":

a size ((n_obs-p)x1) vector containing the total conditional variances.

If to_return=="qresiduals":

a size ((n_obs-p)x1) vector containing the quantile residuals.
