pc_Sigma {segMGarch}

Method to simulate correlated variables with change-points

Description

An S4 method that takes a simMGarch object and outputs simulated correlated time series with a piecewise constant covariance matrix. The correlations are generated as \sigma_{i, i'} = \rho^{|i-i'|} with \rho taking values from (-1,1). The exact variables that will contain a change-point are randomly selected and controlled by r in the simMGarch object.

Usage

pc_Sigma(object)

## S4 method for signature 'simMGarch'
pc_Sigma(object)

Arguments

object

A simMGarch object.
