Auto-Distance Covariance Matrix

Description

Computes the sample auto-distance covariance matrices of a multivariate time series.

Usage

mADCV(x, lags, unbiased = FALSE, output = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Multivariate time series.

lags

The lag order at which to calculate the mADCV. No default is given.

unbiased

A logical value. If unbiased = TRUE, the individual elements of auto-distance covariance matrix correspond to the unbiased estimators of squared auto-distance covariance functions. Default value is FALSE.

output

A logical value. If output=FALSE, no output is given. Default value is TRUE.

Details

Suppose that \textbf{X}_t=(X_{t;1}, \dots, X_{t;d})' is a multivariate time series of dimension d. Then, mADCV computes the d \times d sample auto-distance covariance matrix, \hat{V}(\cdot), of \textbf{X}_t given by

\hat{V}(j) = [\hat{V}_{rm}(j)]_{r,m=1}^d , \quad j=0, \pm 1, \pm 2, \dots,

where \hat{V}_{rm}(j) denotes the biased estimator of the pairwise auto-distance covariance function between X_{t;r} and X_{t+j;m}. The definition of \hat{V}_{rm}(j) is given analogously as in the univariate case (see ADCV). Formal definitions and theoretical properties of auto-distance covariance matrix can be found in Fokianos and Pitsillou (2018).

If unbiased = TRUE, mADCV computes the matrix, \tilde{V}^{(2)}(j), whose elements correspond to the unbiased estimators of squared pairwise auto-distance covariance functions, namely

\tilde{V}^{(2)}(j) = [\tilde{V}^2_{rm}(j)]_{r,m=1}^d , \quad j=0, \pm 1, \pm 2, \dots.

The definition of \tilde{V}_{rm}^2(\cdot) is defined analogously as explained in the univariate case (see ADCV).

Value

If lags is a single number then the function will return a matrix. If lags is a vector of many values the function will return an array. For either case, the matrix (matrices) will contain either the biased estimators of the pairwise auto-distance covariance functions or the unbiased estimators of squared pairwise auto-distance covariance functions at lag, j, determined by the argument lags.
