ewmCov
Syntax
ewmCov(X, [com], [span], [halfLife], [alpha], [minPeriods=0], [adjust=true],
[ignoreNA=false], [other], [bias=false])
Details
Calculate exponentially weighted moving covariance of X and other.
Exactly one of the parameters com, span, halfLife and alpha must be specified.
Arguments
X is a numeric vector.
com (optional) is a non-negative floating number and specifies decay in terms of center of mass. alpha=1/(1+com) where alpha is the decay factor.
span (optional) is a positive floating number larger than 1 and specifies decay in terms of span. alpha=2/(span+1).
halfLife (optional) is a positive floating number and specifies decay in terms of half-life. alpha=1-exp(log(0.5)/halfLife).
alpha (optional) is a floating number between 0 and 1 and directly specifies decay.
minPeriods (optional) is an integer indicating the minimum number of observations in window required to have a value (otherwise result is NULL). The default value is 0.
-
If adjust=true, the weights are (1-alpha)^(n-1), (1-alpha)^(n-2), …, 1-alpha, 1 divided by their sum.
-
If adjust=false, the weights are (1-alpha)^(n-1), (1-alpha)^(n-2)*alpha, (1-alpha)^(n-3)*alpha^2,…, (1-alpha)*alpha, alpha.
ignoreNA (optional) is a Boolean value indicating whether to ignore missing values. The defaut value is false.
other (optional) is a numeric vector of the same length as X.
bias (optional) is a Boolean value indicating whether the result is biased. The default value is false, meaning the bias is corrected.
Examples
a=[0,1,2,int(),4]
b=[2,4,3,6,5]
ewmCov(X=a,other=b,com=0.5);
// output
[,1,-0.038462,-0.038462,2.112637]
ewmCov(X=a,other=b,com=0.5,ignoreNA=true);
// output
[,1,-0.038462,-0.038462,1.969231]
