Conditional moments of MixAR models

Conditional moments of MixAR models.

Usage

mix_location(model, x, index, xcond)
mix_variance(model, x, index, xcond)
mix_central_moment(model, x, index, xcond, k)
mix_moment(model, x, index, xcond, k)
mix_kurtosis(...)
mix_ekurtosis(...)

Arguments

model: a MixAR object.
x: a time series.
index: a vector of indices in x for which to compute the requested property. If missing, the computation is done for all indices greater than max(model@order).
xcond: a time series, the point prediction is computed for the first value after the end of the time series. Only the last max(model@order) values in xcond are used.
k: a positive integer specifying the moment to compute.
...: passed on to mix_central_moment.

Details

These functions compute conditional moments and related quantities.

kurtosis and ekurtosis compute conditional kurtosis and excess kurtosis, respectively. Effectively, they have the same parameters as mix_central_moment, since they pass "..." to it along with k = 4. It is an error to supply argument k to the kurtosis functions.

Value

when called with one argument (model), a function with argument xcond; otherwise if xcond is not missing, a single numeric value; otherwise a vector of length length(index).

Note

I wrote the above description recently from reading six years old code, it may need further verification.

Examples

## data(ibmclose, package = "fma") # `ibmclose'
ibmclose <- as.numeric(fma::ibmclose)
length(ibmclose) # 369
#> [1] 369
max(exampleModels$WL_ibm@order) # 2
#> [1] 2

## compute point predictions for t = 3,...,369
pred <- mix_location(exampleModels$WL_ibm, ibmclose)
plot(pred)
