block.smooth.periodogram {LSTS}R Documentation

Smooth Periodogram by Blocks

Description

Plots the contour plot of the smoothing periodogram of a time series, by blocks or windows.

Usage

block.smooth.periodogram(
  y,
  x = NULL,
  N = NULL,
  S = NULL,
  p = 0.25,
  spar.freq = 0,
  spar.time = 0
)

Arguments

y

(type: numeric) data vector

x

(type: numeric) optional vector, if x = NULL then the function uses (1,\ldots,n) where n is the length of y.

N

(type: numeric) value corresponding to the length of the window to compute periodogram. If N=NULL then the function will use N = \textrm{trunc}(n^{0.8}), see Dahlhaus and Giraitis (1998) where n is the length of the y vector.

S

(type: numeric) value corresponding to the lag with which will be taking the blocks or windows to calculate the periodogram.

p

(type: numeric) value used if it is desired that S is proportional to N. By default p=0.25, if S and N are not entered.

spar.freq

(type: numeric) smoothing parameter, typically (but not necessarily) in (0,1].

spar.time

(type: numeric) smoothing parameter, typically (but not necessarily) in (0,1].

Details

The number of windows of the function is m = \textrm{trunc}((n-N)/S+1), where trunc truncates de entered value and n is the length of the vector y. All windows are of the same length N, if this value isn't entered by user then is computed as N=\textrm{trunc}(n^{0.8}) (Dahlhaus). LSTS_spb computes the periodogram in each of the M windows and then smoothes it two times with smooth.spline function; the first time using spar.freq parameter and the second time with spar.time. These windows overlap between them.

Value

A ggplot object.
