serialIndepTest {copula} | R Documentation |
Serial independence test based on the empirical copula process as
proposed in Ghoudi et al. (2001) and Genest and Rémillard (2004). The
test, which is the serial analog of indepTest
, can be
seen as composed of three steps: (i) a simulation step, which consists
in simulating the distribution of the test statistics under serial
independence for the sample size under consideration; (ii) the test
itself, which consists in computing the approximate p-values of the
test statistics with respect to the empirical distributions obtained
in step (i); and (iii) the display of a graphic, called a
dependogram, enabling to understand the type of departure from
serial independence, if any. More details can be found in the articles
cited in the reference section.
serialIndepTestSim(n, lag.max, m=lag.max+1, N=1000, verbose = TRUE, print.every = NULL) serialIndepTest(x, d, alpha=0.05)
n |
length of the time series when simulating the distribution of the test statistics under serial independence. |
lag.max |
maximum lag. |
m |
maximum cardinality of the subsets of 'lags' for which a test
statistic is to be computed. It makes sense to consider |
N |
number of repetitions when simulating under serial independence. |
print.every |
is deprecated in favor of |
verbose |
a logical specifying if progress
should be displayed via |
x |
numeric vector containing the time series whose serial independence is to be tested. |
d |
object of class |
alpha |
significance level used in the computation of the critical values for the test statistics. |
See the references below for more details, especially the third and fourth ones.
The function "serialIndepTestSim"
returns an object of class
"serialIndepTestDist"
whose attributes are: sample.size
,
lag.max
, max.card.subsets
, number.repetitons
,
subsets
(list of the subsets for which test statistics have
been computed), subsets.binary
(subsets in binary 'integer'
notation), dist.statistics.independence
(a N
line matrix
containing the values of the test statistics for each subset and each
repetition) and dist.global.statistic.independence
(a vector a
length N
containing the values of the serial version of the
global Cramér-von Mises test statistic for each repetition — see
last reference p.175).
The function "serialIndepTest"
returns an object of class
"indepTest"
whose attributes are: subsets
,
statistics
, critical.values
, pvalues
,
fisher.pvalue
(a p-value resulting from a combination à la
Fisher of the subset statistic p-values), tippett.pvalue
(a
p-value resulting from a combination à la Tippett of the subset
statistic p-values), alpha
(global significance level of the
test), beta
(1 - beta
is the significance level per
statistic), global.statistic
(value of the global Cramér-von
Mises statistic derived directly from the serial independence
empirical copula process — see last reference p 175) and
global.statistic.pvalue
(corresponding p-value).
