The replicate time series can be generated using fixed or random block lengths or can be model based replicates. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> tsboot(tseries, statistic, R, l = NULL, sim = "model", endcorr = TRUE, n.sim = NROW(tseries), orig.t = TRUE, ran.gen, ran.args = NULL, norm = TRUE, ..., parallel = c("no", "multicore", "snow"), ncpus = getOption("boot.ncpus", 1L), cl = NULL) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>tseries</code></td> <td> <p>A univariate or multivariate time series. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>statistic</code></td> <td> <p>A function which when applied to <code>tseries</code> returns a vector containing the statistic(s) of interest. Each time <code>statistic</code> is called it is passed a time series of length <code>n.sim</code> which is of the same class as the original <code>tseries</code>. Any other arguments which <code>statistic</code> takes must remain constant for each bootstrap replicate and should be supplied through the ... argument to <code>tsboot</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>R</code></td> <td> <p>A positive integer giving the number of bootstrap replicates required. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>sim</code></td> <td> <p>The type of simulation required to generate the replicate time series. The possible input values are <code>"model"</code> (model based resampling), <code>"fixed"</code> (block resampling with fixed block lengths of <code>l</code>), <code>"geom"</code> (block resampling with block lengths having a geometric distribution with mean <code>l</code>) or <code>"scramble"</code> (phase scrambling). </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>l</code></td> <td> <p>If <code>sim</code> is <code>"fixed"</code> then <code>l</code> is the fixed block length used in generating the replicate time series. If <code>sim</code> is <code>"geom"</code> then <code>l</code> is the mean of the geometric distribution used to generate the block lengths. <code>l</code> should be a positive integer less than the length of <code>tseries</code>. This argument is not required when <code>sim</code> is <code>"model"</code> but it is required for all other simulation types. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>endcorr</code></td> <td> <p>A logical variable indicating whether end corrections are to be applied when <code>sim</code> is <code>"fixed"</code>. When <code>sim</code> is <code>"geom"</code>, <code>endcorr</code> is automatically set to <code>TRUE</code>; <code>endcorr</code> is not used when <code>sim</code> is <code>"model"</code> or <code>"scramble"</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>n.sim</code></td> <td> <p>The length of the simulated time series. Typically this will be equal to the length of the original time series but there are situations when it will be larger. One obvious situation is if prediction is required. Another situation in which <code>n.sim</code> is larger than the original length is if <code>tseries</code> is a residual time series from fitting some model to the original time series. In this case, <code>n.sim</code> would usually be the length of the original time series. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>orig.t</code></td> <td> <p>A logical variable which indicates whether <code>statistic</code> should be applied to <code>tseries</code> itself as well as the bootstrap replicate series. If <code>statistic</code> is expecting a longer time series than <code>tseries</code> or if applying <code>statistic</code> to <code>tseries</code> will not yield any useful information then <code>orig.t</code> should be set to <code>FALSE</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>ran.gen</code></td> <td> <p>This is a function of three arguments. The first argument is a time series. If <code>sim</code> is <code>"model"</code> then it will always be <code>tseries</code> that is passed. For other simulation types it is the result of selecting <code>n.sim</code> observations from <code>tseries</code> by some scheme and converting the result back into a time series of the same form as <code>tseries</code> (although of length <code>n.sim</code>). The second argument to <code>ran.gen</code> is always the value <code>n.sim</code>, and the third argument is <code>ran.args</code>, which is used to supply any other objects needed by <code>ran.gen</code>. If <code>sim</code> is <code>"model"</code> then the generation of the replicate time series will be done in <code>ran.gen</code> (for example through use of <code><a href="../../stats/html/arima.sim.html">arima.sim</a></code>). For the other simulation types <code>ran.gen</code> is used for ‘post-blackening’. The default is that the function simply returns the time series passed to it. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>ran.args</code></td> <td> <p>This will be supplied to <code>ran.gen</code> each time it is called. If <code>ran.gen</code> needs any extra arguments then they should be supplied as components of <code>ran.args</code>. Multiple arguments may be passed by making <code>ran.args</code> a list. If <code>ran.args</code> is <code>NULL</code> then it should not be used within <code>ran.gen</code> but note that <code>ran.gen</code> must still have its third argument. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>norm</code></td> <td> <p>A logical argument indicating whether normal margins should be used for phase scrambling. If <code>norm</code> is <code>FALSE</code> then margins corresponding to the exact empirical margins are used. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>...</code></td> <td> <p>Extra named arguments to <code>statistic</code> may be supplied here. Beware of partial matching to the arguments of <code>tsboot</code> listed above. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>parallel, ncpus, cl</code></td> <td> <p>See the help for <code><a href="boot.html">boot</a></code>. </p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Details</h3> <p>If <code>sim</code> is <code>"fixed"</code> then each replicate time series is found by taking blocks of length <code>l</code>, from the original time series and putting them end-to-end until a new series of length <code>n.sim</code> is created. When <code>sim</code> is <code>"geom"</code> a similar approach is taken except that now the block lengths are generated from a geometric distribution with mean <code>l</code>. Post-blackening can be carried out on these replicate time series by including the function <code>ran.gen</code> in the call to <code>tsboot</code> and having <code>tseries</code> as a time series of residuals. </p> <p>Model based resampling is very similar to the parametric bootstrap and all simulation must be in one of the user specified functions. This avoids the complicated problem of choosing the block length but relies on an accurate model choice being made. </p> <p>Phase scrambling is described in Section 8.2.4 of Davison and Hinkley (1997). The types of statistic for which this method produces reasonable results is very limited and the other methods seem to do better in most situations. Other types of resampling in the frequency domain can be accomplished using the function <code>boot</code> with the argument <code>sim = "parametric"</code>. </p> <h3>Value</h3> <p>An object of class <code>"boot"</code> with the following components. </p> <table summary="R valueblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>t0</code></td> <td> <p>If <code>orig.t</code> is <code>TRUE</code> then <code>t0</code> is the result of <code>statistic(tseries,...{})</code> otherwise it is <code>NULL</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>t</code></td> <td> <p>The results of applying <code>statistic</code> to the replicate time series. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>R</code></td> <td> <p>The value of <code>R</code> as supplied to <code>tsboot</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>tseries</code></td> <td> <p>The original time series. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>statistic</code></td> <td> <p>The function <code>statistic</code> as supplied. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>sim</code></td> <td> <p>The simulation type used in generating the replicates. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>endcorr</code></td> <td> <p>The value of <code>endcorr</code> used. The value is meaningful only when <code>sim</code> is <code>"fixed"</code>; it is ignored for model based simulation or phase scrambling and is always set to <code>TRUE</code> if <code>sim</code> is <code>"geom"</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>n.sim</code></td> <td> <p>The value of <code>n.sim</code> used. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>l</code></td> <td> <p>The value of <code>l</code> used for block based resampling. This will be <code>NULL</code> if block based resampling was not used. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>ran.gen</code></td> <td> <p>The <code>ran.gen</code> function used for generating the series or for ‘post-blackening’. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>ran.args</code></td> <td> <p>The extra arguments passed to <code>ran.gen</code>. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>call</code></td> <td> <p>The original call to <code>tsboot</code>. </p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>References</h3> <p>Davison, A.C. and Hinkley, D.V.
