similar to: acf(): meaning of the blue horizontal lines

Hello, what is the meaning of the plots of an acf()-plot, when using a data frame as argument? The result is NOT obvious for me. There are combinations of the columns of a dataframe in the reulting plot. But an acf() is just defined for onyl one time-sreies. So what do the plots mean? I did not found a description in the help-page. Ciao, Oliver

Hi, The default value for lag.max in ACF implementation is 10*log10(N) There several publications recommending setting lag.max to: - N/4 (Box and Jenkins, 1970; Chatfield, 1975; Anderson, 1976; Pankratz, 1983; Davis, 1986; etc.) - sqrt(N)+10 (Cryer, 1986) - 20<=N<=40 (Brockwell and Davis) Why R uses 10*log10(N) as a default? Please, give me a reference to a book or article where the

Dear all, given two numeric vectors x and y, the ACF(x) at lag k is cor(x(t),x(t+k)) while the CCF(x,y) at lag k is cor(x(t),y(t-k)). See below for a simple example. > set.seed(1) > x <- rnorm(10) > y <- rnorm(10) > x [1] -0.6264538 0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078 -0.8204684 0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814 -0.3053884 > y [1] 1.51178117 0.38984324

Hello, I am attending a course in Computational Statistics at ETH and in one of the assignments I am asked to prove that a time series is not autocorrelated using the R function "acf". I tried out the acf function with the given data, according to what I found here: http://landshape.org/enm/options-for-acf-in-r/ this test data does not look IID but rather shows some trends so how can I

this one is not a false alarm like my previous message. i have cut and paste the code below so if anyone could run it would be appreciated. basically, my question is why the horizontal axis of the acf plot is labelled with such huge numbers when the labels should be 1 through 10 since may lag.max = 10 ? i looked at the cdoe of acf but it was pretty much beyond me. i think it has something to

Hello, I am interested in fitting a generalized nonlinear regression (gnlr) model with negative binomial errors. I have found Jim Lindsay's package that will do gnlr, but I have having trouble with the particular model I am interested in fitting. It is a threshhold model, where below a certain value of one of the parameters being fitted, the model changes. Here is a sample: Cones:

I am guessing this is a very simple question, but this is only my second day with R so it is all still a bit imposing. I am trying to run an autocorrelation. I imported a CSV file, which has one column labeled "logistic". I ran the command: ACF(data$logistic,maxLag=10) However, I received the error: Error in UseMethod("ACF") : no applicable method for 'ACF'

Hi, I would like to use acf.plot on a correlogram that is computed externally. In other words, I would like to "fake out" the acf object. Is this possible?-- any help would be appreciated. TIA Martin

I need to modify the graph of the autocorrelation. I tried to do it through plot.acf but with no success. 1. I would like to get rid of the lag zero 2. I would like to have numbers on the x-axis only at lags 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, ... Could anybody help me in this? Any help will be appreciated Thank you for your attention Stefano [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I'm getting the following error that do not make sense to me, what am Idoing wrong ? > acf(Recsim[1,], lag.max=1) Error in acf(Recsim[1, ], lag.max = 1) : 'lag.max' must be at least 1 Regards EJ

Hello all, I found a funny problem with y-axis labels when plotting acf(matrix) - the labels are too close to one of the margins and cut in half. Here's the problem: test<-matrix(rnorm(200),ncol=4) acf(test) This doesn't fix the problem: test<-matrix(rnorm(200),ncol=4) par(mar=c(3,3,2,0.2),oma=c(0,0,0,0)) acf(test) This does fix the margin. I understand why, but not sure why ONLY

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me with this? I have plotted an acf function for a time series and am very happy with it. Now I am interested in calculating for myself the two values for the confidence intervals that are plotted on the graph of the acf. The confidence intervals do not appear to be returned from the acf function (is this true?). So far I haven't managed to

Hi, Im new to R so this question is quite fundamental. Im trying to compare some autocorrelations generated by the acf function to some theoretical correlations. How can I have acces to just the autocorrelations, for computation? This is some of my code: > acf.data<-c(acf(x)) > acf.data This is the R output: $acf , , 1 [,1] [1,] 1.000000000 [2,]

I am trying to understand the function acf stats:::acf shows me the function I am having trouble understanding the usage "$acf" in the following acf <- array(.C(R_acf, as.double(x), as.integer(sampleT), as.integer(nser), as.integer(lag.max), as.integer(type == "correlation"), acf = double((lag.max + 1L) * nser * nser), NAOK =

Full_Name: Ian McLeod Version: 2.3.1 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (129.100.76.136) > There is a simple bug in acf as shown below: > > z <- 1 > acf(z,lag.max=1,plot=FALSE) > Error in acf(z, lag.max = 1, plot = FALSE) : > 'lag.max' must be at least 1 > This is certainly a bug. There are two problems: (i) the error message is wrong since lag.max is

Hi List, I'm trying to calculate the autocorrelation coefficients for a time series using acf at various lags. This is working well, and I can get the coefficients without any trouble. However, I don't seem to be able to obtain the significance of these coefficients from the returned acf object, largely because I don't know where I might find them. It's clear that the acf

Hi, Can anyone please provide the formula used to compute ACF(nlme). I believe the one that is used in R is of the type mentioned on the website. Please correct me if I am wrong. The normalization of the numerator (Ch) has been done by 'N' where as I would like to do it by 'N-k'. Is there anyway in the present implementation of ACF to normalize it by 'N-k', where

Hi, I'm plotting 5 autocorrelation plots on one page. Using par(mfrow=c(3,2)) everything comes out fine. However, for each plot, it prints a title on top of each plot that says Series followed by the variable name used in the plot. I want to suppress those titles, but I also want a general figure title on the bottom of the page. I've looked at the Murrell book as well as the acf

Hi, I don't quite understant how can I access to the acf values from the list produced by the acf function Example: library(ts) t <- acf(ts.union(ts(1:10), ts(11:20))) t$acf > tmp$acf , , 1 [,1] [,2] [1,] 1.00000000 1.00000000 [2,] 0.70000000 0.70000000 [3,] 0.41212121 0.41212121 [4,] 0.14848485 0.14848485 [5,] -0.07878788 -0.07878788 [6,] -0.25757576

Hola, Estoy visualizando una serie temporal para determinar sus órdenes ARIMA y no consigo lo siguiente: ¿Cómo puedo sacar la ACF de los retardos múltiplos del periodo? Es decir, sólo ver en el gráfico ACF los retardos 12, 24, 36... Gracias!! David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
