oxy <- armenia

Implement the SCEM and Cosine method on the Armenia data

results = SCEM(armenia,bandwidth = -0.33)
cosine = makeFits(armenia,method ="OLS")  
rownames(cosine) = 1:nrow(cosine)

results$results$Cosine = cosine$birth
dif = abs(results$results$Cosine - results$results$Season)
results$results$Difference = apply(cbind(dif,(1-dif)),1,min)
results$results$R = cosine$Pearson
rrr.a = results$results[order(results$results$Cluster),]

# Storing the birth seasonality estimates from two methods
c.armenia = results$results$Cosine
s.armenia = results$results$Season

Prepare relevant plots for the above analysis

Use Armenia data to show the sensitivity to initialization (for Cosine method)

# Fix the initial values of amplitude and intercept

cosfit.R = array(0,dim = c(length(amp),length(int),length(armenia)))

  for (j in 1:length(int)){
    dd = makeFits(armenia,amp[i],int[j],method="initial")
    cosfit.birth[i,j,] = dd$birth
    cosfit.period[i,j,] = dd$X
    cosfit.delay[i,j,] = dd$x0
    cosfit.R[i,j,] = dd$Pearson
  }
}
birth.means = numeric(length(armenia))
birth.var = numeric(length(armenia))
for (i in 1:length(armenia)){
  birth.means[i] = mean(c(cosfit.birth[,,i]))
  birth.var[i] = var(c(cosfit.birth[,,i]))
}

# Plots of the model fits to show the sensitivity to initial conditions

par(mfrow = c(1,2),mar = c(4,4,1,1))
plot(birth.means,sqrt(birth.var),xlab = "mean of birth season",ylab = "standard deviation",pch = 19)
