quantilogram

Estimation and inference methods for the cross-quantilogram. The cross-quantilogram is a measure of nonlinear dependence between two variables, based on either unconditional or conditional quantile functions. The cross-quantilogram can be considered as an extension of the correlogram, which is a correlation function over multiple lag periods and mainly focuses on linear dependency. One can use the cross-quantilogram to detect the presence of directional predictability from one time series to another. This package provides a statistical inference method based on the stationary bootstrap.
