is an R package that implements methodological framework for the multi-scale and multivariate stochastic simulation of stochastic processes, building upon the works of Koutsoyiannis (2000) and Efstratiadis et al. (2014).
WHAT IT DOES
Briefly, the overall scheme reproduces the statistical characteristics (mean, variance, skewness and correlations) of the historical data at three temporal scales (annual, monthly and daily).
The generation procedure lies upon a symmetric moving average process for the annual scale and a periodic autoregressive process for the finer scales, while a Monte Carlo disaggregation approach re-establishes consistency across the three temporal scales.
