Check for Possible Non-linear Transformations of a Multiple Time Series
Description
Check for possible non-linear transformations of a multiple time series, series by series.
Usage
chktrans(x, block = 0, output = FALSE, period = 1, pv = 0.05)
Arguments
| x | T by k data matrix: T data points in rows with each row being data at a given time point, and k time series in columns. | 
| block | Number of blocks used in the linear regression. Default value is floor(sqrt(T)). | 
| output | If TRUE it returns the estimates, the code: log, sqrt and No-trans and the numbers of non-linear transformations. Default is TRUE. | 
| period | Seasonal period. | 
| pv | P-value = pv/log(1 + k) is used to check the significance of the coefficients. Default value is 0.05. | 
Details
Each series is divided into a given number of consecutive blocks and in each of them the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and the median are computed. A regression of the log of the MAD with respect to the log of the median is run and the slope defines the non-linear transformation.
Value
A list containing:
- lnTran - Column locations of series that require log-transformation. 
- sqrtTran - Column locations of series that require square-root transformation. 
- noTran - Column locations of series that require no transformation. 
- tran - A vector indicating checking results, where 0 means no transformation, 1 means log-transformation, 2 means square-root transformation. 
- tranX Transformed series. This is only provided if the number of series requiring transformation is sufficiently large, i.e. greater than - 2kpv.
- Summary Number of time series that require log-transformation, square-root transformation and no transformation.
