gJADE {tsBSS}

Generalized JADE

Description

The gJADE (generalized Joint Approximate Diagonalization of Eigenmatrices) method for blind source separation of time series with stochastic volatility. The method is a generalization of JADE, which is a method for blind source separation problem using only marginal information.

Usage

gJADE(X, ...)

## Default S3 method:
gJADE(X, k = 0:12, eps = 1e-06, maxiter = 100, method = c("frjd", "rjd"),
      na.action = na.fail, weight = NULL, ordered = FALSE,
      acfk = NULL, original = TRUE, alpha = 0.05, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ts'
gJADE(X, ...)
## S3 method for class 'xts'
gJADE(X, ...)
## S3 method for class 'zoo'
gJADE(X, ...)

Arguments

X

A numeric matrix or a multivariate time series object of class ts, xts or zoo. Missing values are not allowed.

k

A vector of lags. It can be any non-negative integer, or a vector consisting of them. Default is 0:12. If k = 0, this method reduces to JADE.

eps

Convergence tolerance.

maxiter

The maximum number of iterations.

method

The method to use for the joint diagonalization. The options are "rjd" and "frjd". Default is "frjd".

na.action

A function which indicates what should happen when the data contain 'NA's. Default is to fail.

weight

A vector of length k to give weight to the different matrices in joint diagonalization. If NULL, all matrices have equal weight.

ordered

Whether to order components according to their volatility. Default is FALSE.

acfk

A vector of lags to be used in testing the presence of serial autocorrelation. Applicable only if ordered = TRUE.

original

Whether to return the original components or their residuals based on ARMA fit. Default is TRUE, i.e. the original components are returned. Applicable only if ordered = TRUE.

alpha

Alpha level for linear correlation detection. Default is 0.05.

...

Further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

Details

Assume that a p-variate {\bf Y} with T observations is whitened, i.e. {\bf Y}={\bf S}^{-1/2}({\bf X}_t - \frac{1}{T}\sum_{t=1}^T {\bf X}_{t}), for t = 1, \ldots, T, where {\bf S} is the sample covariance matrix of {\bf X}. The matrix {\bf \widehat{C}}^{ij}_k({\bf Y}) is of the form

{\bf \widehat{C}}^{ij}_k({\bf Y}) = {\bf \widehat{B}}^{ij}_k({\bf Y}) - {\bf S}_k({\bf Y}) ({\bf E}^{ij} + {\bf E}^{ji}) {\bf S}_k({\bf Y})' - \textrm{trace}({\bf E}^{ij}) {\bf I}_p,

for i, j = 1, \ldots, p, where {\bf S}_k({\bf Y}) is the lagged sample covariance matrix of {\bf Y} for lag k = 1, \ldots, K, {\bf E}^{ij} is a matrix where element (i,j) equals to 1 and all other elements are 0, {\bf I}_p is an identity matrix of order p and {\bf \widehat{B}}^{ij}_k({\bf Y}) is as in gFOBI.

The algorithm finds an orthogonal matrix {\bf U} by maximizing

\sum_{i = 1}^p \sum_{j = 1}^p \sum_{k = 0}^K ||diag({\bf U \widehat{C}}^{ij}_k({\bf Y}) {\bf U}')||^2.

where k = 1, \ldots, K. The final unmixing matrix is then {\bf W} = {\bf US}^{-1/2}.

For ordered = TRUE the function orders the sources according to their volatility. First a possible linear autocorrelation is removed using auto.arima. Then a squared autocorrelation test is performed for the sources (or for their residuals, when linear correlation is present). The sources are then put in a decreasing order according to the value of the test statistic of the squared autocorrelation test. For more information, see lbtest.

Value

A list of class 'bssvol', inheriting from class 'bss', containing the following components:

W

The estimated unmixing matrix. If ordered = TRUE, the rows are ordered according to the order of the components.

k

The vector of the used lags.

S

The estimated sources as time series object standardized to have mean 0 and unit variances. If ordered = TRUE, then components are ordered according to their volatility. If original = FALSE, the sources with linear autocorrelation are replaced by their ARMA residuals.

MU

The mean vector of X.

If ordered = TRUE, then also the following components included in the list:

Sraw

The ordered original estimated sources as time series object standardized to have mean 0 and unit variances. Returned only if original = FALSE.

fits

The ARMA fits for the components with linear autocorrelation.

armaeff

A logical vector. Is TRUE if ARMA fit was done to the corresponding component.

linTS

The value of the modified Ljung-Box test statistic for each component.

linP

p-value based on the modified Ljung-Box test statistic for each component.

volTS

The value of the volatility clustering test statistic.

volP

p-value based on the volatility clustering test statistic.
