Momentary ARMA dependence

Description

"ARMA dependence" is an adaptive ARMA filter for the momentary estimation of the degree of dependence from a bivariate ARMA model Y with time-varying parameters

with being the matrices of autoregressive (AR) parameters and being the matrices of the moving average (MA) parameters. Z denotes a two-dimensional noise process. The momentary ARMA dependence is given by

This degree equals zero in the case of independent components and increases with a higher synchronisation of the components.

The recursive estimation of the model coefficients is done adaptively where the adaption speed can be adjusted by the choice of the parameters f and t (see below). By increasing f and decreasing t, a quicker reaction of the estimation procedure is possible after rapid structure changes, but will also lead to an estimation sequence that is less smooth and tends to be less robust.

Parameters are

Warning: Note that if the input signals have different x-axis scales (sampling periods), the signal with the largest scale will be adapted automatically by interpolating between successive sample points. The type of interpolation can be set in the Basic Options menu.


Tips

The adaptation factor f usually lies below 0.05; t must not be smaller than the input signal scale.
