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

Autocorrelation plots:

I plot the Autocorrelation Function for a “random” sample of observations time series. I selected 4 observations and filtered the data by them.

######################################################################
################# ACF plots ##########################################

# I only use 4 observations for these plots, 2 from the “synthetic” class and 2 from the “real” class.

df %>%
filter(row_id == 6422 | row_id == 8967 | row_id == 6080 | row_id == 5734) %>%
mutate(date = as.Date(variable)) %>%
ggplot(aes(x = date)) +
geom_line(aes(y = value), color = “red”, alpha = 0.4) +
geom_hline(yintercept = 0) +
facet_wrap(~ row_id + class) +
theme_tq()

Time Series Classification

acf_data <- df %>%
dplyr::filter(row_id == 6422 | row_id == 8967 | row_id == 6080 | row_id == 5734) %>%
mutate(date = as.Date(variable))

df_acf <- acf_data %>%
group_by(row_id) %>%
summarise(list_acf = list(acf(value, plot=FALSE))) %>%
mutate(acf_vals = purrr::map(list_acf, ~as.numeric(.x$acf))) %>%
select(-list_acf) %>%
unnest() %>%
group_by(row_id) %>%
mutate(lag = row_number() – 1)

df_ci <- acf_data %>%
group_by(row_id) %>%
summarise(ci = qnorm((1 + 0.95)/2)/sqrt(n()))

ggplot(df_acf, aes(x = lag, y = acf_vals)) +
geom_bar(stat=”identity”, width=.05) +
geom_hline(yintercept = 0) +
geom_hline(data = df_ci, aes(yintercept = -ci), color=”blue”, linetype=”dotted”) +
geom_hline(data = df_ci, aes(yintercept = ci), color=”blue”, linetype=”dotted”) +
labs(x=”Lag”, y=”ACF”) +
facet_wrap(~ row_id) +
theme_tq()

Stay tuned for the next installment with a focus on how to generate the financial time series features using the tsfeatures package.
