[R] fracdiff

[Spencer Graves]

	  Confidence intervals for the fracdiff parameter estimates shouldn't 
be too difficult:  the ?fracdiff help file says it returns a list with 
components including 'd', 'ar' 'ma', and 'stderror.dpq'.  From these one 
should easily get the coeffecients, standard errors and naive, Wald 
confidence intervals;  for your convenience, I've embedded these in the 
functions 'coef.fracdiff' and 'confint.fracdiff' given below.

	  By 'sigma2', I assume you mean the estimated variance of the whitened 
residuals.  That is not so obvious.  For that, I might try 
'arima(fitdiff(...))$sigma2', operating on a 'fracdiff' fit.

	  Hope this helps.

##### coef and confint functions for output of fracdiff:
coef.fracdiff <- function(object){
   unlist(object[c("d", "ar", "ma")])
}

confint.fracdiff <- function(object, parm, level=0.95, ...){
   b <- coef.fracdiff(object)
   se <- object$stderror.dpq
   names(se) <- names(b)
#
   if(missing(parm))
     parm <- 1:length(b)
   b. <- b[parm]
   se. <- se[parm]
#
   conf.c <- (1-level)/2
   conf2 <- c(conf.c, 1-conf.c)
   confNames <- paste(100*conf2, "%")
   k. <- length(b.)
   CI <- b+outer(se., qnorm(conf2))
   dimnames(CI)[[2]] <- confNames
   CI
}

figure out how to get the estimated values for
sigma2 or confidence intervals for the parameter
estimates. Does anyone know how to obtain these
values?
