R: Bayesian inference for mu and sigma^2 for the HKp.
infermsmetropR Documentation

Bayesian inference for μ and σ^2 for the HKp.

Description

The function infermsmetrop is used to create a sample from the posterior distribution of μ and σ^2, using eqs. 8,9 in Tyralis and Koutsoyiannis (2014) for the HKp.

Usage

infermsmetrop(Hbayes,data)

Arguments

data

time series data

Hbayes

Hurst parameter simulation sample, should be a vector

Value

A matrix with two columns, the first corresponding to the sample of μ and the second corresponding to the sample of σ^2.

Author(s)

# time series.

xlab = expression(paste(mu)))

hist(sqrt(samp.sim2[,2]),breaks = 20,
main = expression(paste("Histogram of ",sigma)),xlab = expression(paste(sigma)))
