extractCS {costat} R Documentation

## Extractor function for csFSS object.

### Description

Get much information from the slots of a csFSS. Each slot can carry information from multiple solutions per slot. This function permits an arbitrary selection of solutions for information from a slot.

### Usage

extractCS(object, slot=c("startpar", "endpar", "convergence",
"minvar", "pvals", "lcts"), coeftype=c("all", "alpha", "beta",
"alphafunc", "betafunc"), solno, ...)


### Arguments

 object The csFSS object that you want to extract information from. slot The slot that you want to get information on. These are startpar: the starting parameters for the optimization for each solution; endpar: the final parameters calculated by the optimization for each solution; convergence: the status codes returned by the optimization for each solution; minvar: the minimum variance of the spectral estimate at the optimial solution, one for each solution; pvals: the p-values for the test of stationarity for the final optimal parameter set; lcts: the (time-varying) linear combination of the time series, one for each solution. These are the Z_t time series, the combined series which are meant to be stationary. The startpar, endpar and lcts slots return result in one vector for each solution requested, organized as a matrix. Each row of the matrix corresponds to one of the solutions requested. The remaining slots return numbers, one number for each solution organized as a vector. coeftype For the slots that return coefficients, these can be returned in various ways. Each coefficient vector (one per solution) actually stores two sets of coefficients: one associated with the alpha_t linear combination and the other with the beta_t linear combination. Setting coeftype to the following causes the following to happen: all: the complete vector of coefficients is returned (these are actually wavelet coefficients corresponding to the wavelet specification in the csFSS object); alpha: only the alpha_t coefficients are returned; beta: only the beta_t coefficients are returned; alphafunc: the alpha_t function (in the time domain) is returned, ie as a function in time rather than a set of transform coefficients; betafunc: as for alphafunc but for the beta_t function. solno The indices of which solutions you want the information on ... Other arguments to coeftofn. For example, by default the length of the functional representations of alpha_t and beta_t is 256 caused by the default n=256 of the coeftofn

argument.

### Details

Extracts slot information from csFSS objects.

### Value

Information from the relevant slot, as a number, vector or matrix depending on what it is that is requested as described in the various arguments above.

### Examples

#
# Create dummy data
#
x1 <- rnorm(32)
y1 <- rnorm(32)
#
# Find stationary combinations
# Note: we don't run this example in installation/package formation as
# it takes a long time. However, this precise command IS run in
# the help to findstysols
#
## Not run: ans <- findstysols(Nsims=100, tsx=x1, tsy=y1)
#
# Get the optimal (endpar) alphas for the first 10 solutions
#
## Not run: extractCS(ans, slot="endpar", coeftype="alpha", solno=1:10)
#
# Plot the beta_t associate with the optimal solution for solution 29
#
## Not run: ts.plot(extractCS(ans, slot="endpar", coeftype="betafunc",
solno=29))
## End(Not run)
#
# Get the p-value associated with solution 29
#
## Not run: extractCS(ans, slot="pvals", solno=29)
