Box-Cox Analysis for a Time Series

Description

The time series is converted to a vector and BoxCox.numeric is used.

Usage

BoxCox.ts(object, interval = c(-1, 1), ...)

Arguments

object a vector of time series values
interval interval to be searched
... optional arguments

Details

If the minimum data value is <= 0, a small positive constant, equal to the negative of the minimum plus 0.25, is added to all the data values.

Value

No value returned. Graphical output produced as side-effect. The plot shows relative likelihood function as well as the MLE and a confidence interval.

Warning

It is important not to transform the data when fitting it with AR since the optimal transformation would be found for the transformed data – not the original data. Normally this would not be a sensible thing to do.

Note

The MASS package has a similar function boxcox but this is implemented only for regression and analysis of variance.
