Examples

data("GoldSilver", package = "AER")

## p.31, daily returns
lgs <- log(GoldSilver)
plot(lgs[, c("silver", "gold")])

dlgs <- 100 * diff(lgs) 
plot(dlgs[, c("silver", "gold")])

## p.31, monthly log prices
lgs7812 <- window(lgs, start = as.Date("1978-01-01"))
lgs7812m <- aggregate(lgs7812, as.Date(as.yearmon(time(lgs7812))), mean)
plot(lgs7812m, plot.type = "single", lty = 1:2, lwd = 2)

## p.93, empirical ACF of absolute daily gold returns, 1978-01-01 - 2012-12-31
absgret <- abs(100 * diff(lgs7812[, "gold"]))
sacf <- acf(absgret, lag.max = 200, na.action = na.exclude, plot = FALSE)
plot(1:201, sacf$acf, ylim = c(0.04, 0.28), type = "l", xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i", las = 1)


## ARFIMA(0,1,1) model, eq. (4.44)
library("longmemo")

library("forecast")

## p.254: VAR(2), monthly data for 1986.1 - 2012.12

## ACF of residuals, p.256
acf(resid(gs2), 2, plot = FALSE)


## Figure 9.1, p.260 (somewhat different)

## Table 9.2, p.261

## p.266
ls <- lgs8612[, "silver"]
lg <- lgs8612[, "gold"]

gsreg <- lm(lg ~ ls)
