IModelling.HpfR

Fore Syntax

HpfR(Input: ITimeSeries;
    Period: IMsPeriod;
    [Lambda: Integer = 100]): Variant;

Fore.NET Syntax

HpfR(Input: Prognoz.Platform.Interop.Ms.ITimeSeries;
    Period: Prognoz.Platform.Interop.Ms.IMsPeriod;
    Lambda: integer;
    Context: Prognoz.Platform.Interop.Fore.ForeRuntimeContext): object;

Parameters

Input. Smoothed variable.

Period. Period, at which the method is calculated. If the parameter is set to Null, the method is calculated at the entire time period.

Lambda. The parameter controls the measure of variable smoothness.

Context. Context. The parameter is used only in Fore.NET.

Description

The HpfR method smoothes data of a variable using the Hodrick-Prescott filter and the R package.

Comments

The Hodrick-Prescott filter is a method of time series smoothing that is used to identify long-term trends of a time series. The method was first used to analyze business cycles in US post-war economy.

Integration with R must be set up in the repository to use this method. For details about integration setup see the How to Set Up Integration with R? section.

Fore Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. A model with the MODEL_D identifier calculated by the method of determinate equation and containing at least one input variable must be available in this container.

Integration with R must be set up in the repository. For details about integration setup see the How to Set Up Integration with R? section.

After the example execution the model smoothes data of the first input variable with the Hodrick-Prescott filter using the R package.

Example of Use in Expressions

Expression 1:

HpfR({Chicago - population[t]}, Null, 130)

Result: data of the Chicago - population[t] time series is smoothed with the Hodrick-Prescott filter at the entire data period. Smoothing parameter equals to 130. Calculation is executed using the R package.

Use: it can be used in formulas of calculated series of time series database and model formulas of modeling container that is a child of the time series database.

Expression 2:

HpfR(X1, setperiod("01.01.2000", "01.01.2015"))

Result: data of the X1 factor is smoothed with the Hodrick-Prescott filter at the specified data period using the R package.

Use: it can be used in model formulas of modeling container.
