funtimes: Functions for Time Series Analysis

Description

Advances in multiple aspects of time-series analysis are documented in this package. See available vignettes using
browseVignettes(package = "funtimes")

Tests for trends applicable to autocorrelated data, see
vignette("trendtests", package = "funtimes")
include bootstrapped versions of t-test and Mann–Kendall test (Noguchi et al. 2011) and bootstrapped version of WAVK test for possibly non-monotonic trends (Lyubchich et al. 2013). The WAVK test is further applied in testing synchronicity of trends (Lyubchich and Gel 2016); see an implementation to climate data in Lyubchich (2016). With iterative testing, the synchronicity test is also applied for identifying clusters of multiple time series (Ghahari et al. 2017).

Additional clustering methods are implemented using functions BICC (Schaeffer et al. 2016) and DR (Huang et al. 2018); function purity can be used to assess the accuracy of clustering if true classes are known.

Changepoint detection methods include modified CUSUM-based bootstrapped test (Lyubchich et al. 2020).

Additional functions include implementation of the Beale's ratio estimator, see
vignette("beales", package = "funtimes")
Nonparametric comparison of tails of distributions is implemented using small bins defined based on quantiles (Soliman et al. 2015) or intervals in the units in which the data are recorded (Lyubchich and Gel 2017).
