VisualDom: An R package for estimating dominant variables in dynamical systems[Formula presented]

Abstract

The R package VisualDom estimates and plots the correlation coefficients obtained via the wavelet local multiple correlation and the variables that maximizes the wavelet multiple correlation through time and scale, i.e. the “dominant” variables of a dynamical system. The novel graphical tool to find out dominant variables that we are proposing is able to obtain knowledge from diverse types of dynamical systems, e.g. the climate system. The functions included in VisualDom are quite flexible because these contain multiple parameters for controlling the plot of the time series under analysis and the heat maps of the correlation coefficients and dominant variables.
