RecordTest

CRAN_Status_Badge cran_checks Downloads Downloads Licence

The R package RecordTest provides exploratory data analysis and inference tools based on theory of records to describe the record occurrence and detect trends and change-points in time series. In particular, RecordTest consists of graphical tools, distribution-free tests for trend in location, variation or non-stationarity in the tails, and change-point detection tests, all of them based on the record occurrence. Details about the implemented tools can be found in Castillo-Mateo et al. (2023a) doi:10.18637/jss.v106.i05 and Castillo-Mateo et al. (2023b) doi:10.1016/j.atmosres.2023.106934.
