ACF.gls {nlme} | R Documentation |
This method function calculates the empirical autocorrelation function
for the residuals from a gls
fit. If a grouping variable is
specified in form
, the autocorrelation values
are calculated using pairs of residuals within the same group;
otherwise all possible residual pairs are used. The autocorrelation
function is useful for investigating serial correlation models for
equally spaced data.
## S3 method for class 'gls' ACF(object, maxLag, resType, form, na.action, ...)
object |
an object inheriting from class |
maxLag |
an optional integer giving the maximum lag for which the autocorrelation should be calculated. Defaults to maximum lag in the residuals. |
resType |
an optional character string specifying the type of
residuals to be used. If |
form |
an optional one sided formula of the form |
na.action |
a function that indicates what should happen when the
data contain |
... |
some methods for this generic require additional arguments. |
a data frame with columns lag
and ACF
representing,
respectively, the lag between residuals within a pair and the corresponding
empirical autocorrelation. The returned value inherits from class
ACF
