function ts = baxter_king_filter(ts, high_frequency, low_frequency, K) % --*-- Unitary tests --*-- % ts = baxter_king_filter(ts, high_frequency, low_frequency, K) % % Implementation of Baxter and King (1999) band pass filter for dseries objects. The code is adapted from % the one provided by Baxter and King. This filter isolates business cycle fluctuations with a period of length % ranging between high_frequency to low_frequency (quarters). % % INPUTS % o ts dseries object. % o high_frequency positive scalar, period length (default value is 6). % o low_frequency positive scalar, period length (default value is 32). % o K positive scalar integer, truncation parameter (default value is 12). % % OUTPUTS % o ts dseries object. % % REMARKS % This filter use a (symmetric) moving average smoother, so that K observations at the beginning and at the end of the % sample are lost in the computation of the filter. % Copyright (C) 2013 Dynare Team % % This file is part of Dynare. % % Dynare is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify % it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by % the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or % (at your option) any later version. % % Dynare is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, % but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of % MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
