Differencing with Log Transformation to Make Time Series Stationary

Description

This function attempts to make a non-stationary time series stationary by applying differencing with a logarithmic transformation. It iteratively increases the differencing order until stationarity is achieved or informs the user if the transformation is not possible.

Usage

util_difflog_ts(.time_series)

Arguments

.time_series

A time series object to be made stationary.

Details

The function calculates the frequency of the input time series using the stats::frequency function and checks if the minimum value of the time series is greater than 0. It then applies differencing with a logarithmic transformation incrementally until the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test indicates stationarity (p-value < 0.05) or until the differencing order reaches the frequency of the data.

If differencing with a logarithmic transformation successfully makes the time series stationary, it returns the stationary time series and related information as a list with the following elements:

If the data either had a minimum value less than or equal to 0 or requires more differencing than its frequency allows, it informs the user and suggests trying double differencing with a logarithmic transformation.

Value

If the time series is already stationary or the differencing with a logarithmic transformation is successful,
