Corbae-Ouliaris (2006) Frequency Domain Filter

Usage

corbae_ouliaris(x, low_freq = NULL, high_freq = NULL)

Arguments

x

Vector, data.frame, matrix or any similar 1D/2D object containing values for filtering.

low_freq

Number indicating the lowest period of oscillation as fractions of \(\pi\). If low_freq > 1, indicating that the direct frequency of the data is provided, this is transformed internally into 2 / high_freq. The default is NULL, meaning that the ifelse(freq > 1, trunc(freq * 1.5), 2) will be used.

high_freq

Number indicating the highest period of oscillation as radians of \(\pi\). If high_freq > 1, indicating that the direct frequency of the data is provided, this is transformed internally into 2 / low_freq. The default is NULL, meaning that the trunc(freq * 8) will be used.

Details

This is a pure R implementation of the filtering algorithm. low_freq and high_freq are connected with characteristics of the series, for example the business circle. low_freq and high_freq must be both either between 0 and 1, meaning that they are frequencies of the period as radians, or both >1, indicating that both are starting and ending periods of the cycle.

low_freq and high_freq are used for keeping the relevant frequencies. These are meant to be the ones inside the range \([ low \_ freq, high \_ freq ]\). Therefore, values outside this range are removed.

For 2-dimensional objects x, filtering per column is applied.

Value

Filtered object with the same length/dimensions and class as the input x.
