R: Rotated Cumulative Variance

rotcumvar {waveslim} | R Documentation

## Rotated Cumulative Variance

### Description

Provides the normalized cumulative sums of squares from a sequence of coefficients with the diagonal line removed.

### Usage

    rotcumvar(x)

### Arguments

`x` | vector of coefficients to be cumulatively summed (missing values excluded)

### Details

The rotated cumulative variance, when plotted, provides a qualitative way to study the time dependence of the variance of a series. If the variance is stationary over time, then only small deviations from zero should be present. If on the other hand the variance is non-stationary, then large departures may exist. Formal hypothesis testing may be performed based on boundary crossings of Brownian bridge processes.

### Value

Vector of coefficients that are the sumulative sum of squared input coefficients.
