Welch seasonality test
Description
Test for seasonality in a time series using Welch's ANOVA test.
Usage
welch(x, freq = NA, diff = T, residuals = F, autoarima = T, rank = F)
Arguments
x |
time series |
freq |
Frequency of the time series |
diff |
Shall the differenced series be tested? |
residuals |
Shall the residuals of an ARIMA model be tested? |
autoarima |
Use automatic instead of a (0,1,1) ARIMA model? |
rank |
Use rank of series instead of actual values? |
Details
If residuals=FALSE the autoarima parameter is ignored.
If rank=TRUE, the test becomes basically a combination of the Kruskall-Wallis and the Welch test.
If residuals=TRUE, a non-seasonal ARIMA model is estimated for the time series. And the residuals of the fitted model are used as input to the test statistic. If an automatic order selection is used, the Hyndman-Khandakar algorithm is employed with max(p)=max(q) <= 3.
