index_ordinal_variation {otsfeatures}R Documentation

Computes the estimated index of ordinal variation (IOV) of an ordinal time series

Description

index_ordinal_variation computes the estimated index of ordinal variation of an ordinal time series

Usage

index_ordinal_variation(series, states)

Arguments

series

An OTS.

states

A numerical vector containing the corresponding states.

Details

Given an OTS of length T with range \mathcal{S}=\{s_0, s_1, s_2, \ldots, s_n\} (s_0 < s_1 < s_2 < \ldots < s_n), \overline{X}_t=\{\overline{X}_1,\ldots, \overline{X}_T\}, the function computes the estimated IOV given by \widehat{IOV}=\frac{4}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\widehat{f}_k(1-\widehat{f}_k), where \widehat{f}_k is the standard estimate of the cumulative marginal probability for state s_k computed from the series \overline{X}_t.

Value

The estimated IOV.
