migfc function

A function to compute Mean information gain (MIG) and Fluctuation complexity (FC)

Calculates MIG and FC

migfc(x, L)

Arguments

• x: A time series
• L: word length parameter

Returns

A list containing MIG, FC and transition matrices.

Details

MIG and FC are based on a median partitioning of the time series Following Hauhs, M. and Lange, H., 2008. Classification of runoff in headwater catchments: A physical problem?. Geography Compass, 2(1), pp.235-254. ATTENTION: This function is still in development and needs further testing!

Examples

x = arima.sim(model=list(ar = 0.3), n = 10^4)
migfc(x, L=4)
