Time Series Classification Synthetic vs Real Financial Time Series – Part V

Time Series Classification Synthetic vs Real Financial Time Series – Part V

See Part IPart II , Part III and Part IV in this article for instructions from Matthew Smith on which R packages and data sets you need.

An important note in the code here is that I randomly sample by group, that is, I do not take a random sample from all observations across all groups. Instead I group_by each time series (each of the 6,000 observations after I filtered by the class == 0, likewise when I filter by the class == 1), I then nest() the data to collapse the daily time series for each asset into a list. From here I will have 6,000 observations, each of which has their time series nested inside a list. Thus, I can sample 1 of the 6,000 observations and then unnest() and obtain a full time series set of one of the random assets selected, – instead of sampling randomly over all assets time series data (which would be completely wrong).

For example the following commented out code group_by() the ID variable and nest() the data, takes a random sample_n() of the grouped data and then unnest() the data to its original form, this time with a random sample of the IDs.

# group_by(row_id) %>%
# nest() %>%
# ungroup() %>%
# sample_n(1) %>%
# unnest() %>%

Next I compute the Dickey Fuller test on both series for a single random observation, hence the sample_n(1) argument (it’s too computationally expensive to compute it on all 12,000 observations).

For the synthetically created series.

# Dickey Fuller test on the 0 class
# I only randomly sample 1 of the assets for the 0 class to save on output space

df %>%
filter(class == 0) %>%
group_by(row_id) %>%
nest() %>%
ungroup() %>%
sample_n(1) %>%
unnest() %>%
nest(-row_id) %>%
mutate(adf_res = map(data, ~ adf.test(.x$value))) %>%
unnest(adf_res)

The same but on the real financial series.

# Dickey Fuller test on the 1 class
# I only randomly sample 1 of the assets for the 1 class to save on output space

df %>%
filter(class == 1) %>%
group_by(row_id) %>%
nest() %>%
ungroup() %>%
sample_n(1) %>%
unnest() %>%
nest(-row_id) %>%
mutate(adf_res = map(data, ~ adf.test(.x$value))) %>%
unnest(adf_res)
