residuals.data.frame {onlineforecast} | R Documentation |
Calculate the residuals given a forecast matrix and the observations.
Description
Calculate the residuals given a forecast matrix and the observations.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
residuals(object, y, ...)
## S3 method for class 'matrix'
residuals(object, y, ...)
## S3 method for class 'list'
residuals(object, y, ...)
## S3 method for class 'forecastmodel_fit'
residuals(object, ...)
Arguments
object |
The forecast matrix (a data.frame with kxx as column names, Yhat in returned fits). |
y |
The observations vector. |
... |
Not used. |
Details
Simply give the forecast matrix and the observations to get the residuals for each horizon in the forecast matrix.
The residuals returned are synced with the observations (i.e. k0) and the columns are names "hxx" (not kxx) to indicate this and will not be lagged in plot_ts()
.
Value
If object is a matrix or data.frame: a data.frame with the residuals for each horizon. If object is a list: A list with residuals from each element.
Examples
# ?? list example
# Just a vector to be forecasted
n <- 100
D <- data.list()
D$t <- 1:n
D$y <- c(filter(rnorm(n), 0.95, "recursive"))
plot(D$y, type="l")
# Generate a forecast matrix with a simple persistence model
D$Yhat <- persistence(D$y, kseq=1:4)
# The residuals for each horizon
D$Resid <- residuals(D$Yhat, D$y)
D$Resid
# Note the names of the columns
names(D$Resid)
# which means that they are aligned with the observations and will not be lagged in the plot
plot_ts(D, c("y|Yhat","Resid"))
# Check that it matches (the forecasts is lagged in the plot_ts
# such that the forecast for t+k is at t+k (and not t))
plot_ts(D, c("y|Yhat","Resid"), xlim=c(1,10), kseq=1,
plotfun=function(x,...){lines(x,...,type="b")})
# Just for fun, see the auto-correlation function of the persistence
acf(D$Resid$h1, na.action=na.pass)
acf(D$Resid$h4, na.action=na.pass)
