sampleComplexCFMoment {StableEstim}

Complex moment condition based on the characteristic function

Description

Computes the moment condition based on the characteristic function as a complex vector.

Usage

sampleComplexCFMoment(x, t, theta, pm = 0)

Arguments

x

vector of data where the ecf is computed.

t

vector of (real) numbers where the CF is evaluated; numeric.

theta

vector of parameters of the stable law; vector of length 4.

pm

parametrisation, an integer (0 or 1); default: pm=0 (Nolan's ‘S0’ parametrisation).

Details

The moment conditions

The moment conditions are given by:

g_t(X,\theta) = g(t,X;\theta)= e^{itX} - \phi_{\theta}(t)

If one has a sample x_1,\dots,x_n of i.i.d realisations of the same random variable X, then:

\hat{g}_n(t,\theta) = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n g(t,x_i;\theta) = \phi_n(t) - \phi_\theta(t) ,

where \phi_n(t) is the eCF associated to the sample x_1,\dots,x_n, and defined by \phi_n(t) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{j=1}^n e^{itX_j}.

The function compute the vector of difference between the eCF and the CF at a set of given point t.

Value

a complex vector of length(t).

Examples

## define the parameters
nt <- 10   
t <- seq(0.1, 3, length.out = nt)
theta <- c(1.5, 0.5, 1, 0)
pm <- 0

set.seed(222)
x <- rstable(200, theta[1], theta[2], theta[3], theta[4], pm)

## Compute the characteristic function
CFMC <- sampleComplexCFMoment(x = x, t = t, theta = theta, pm = pm)
