Dear R Users, I have a CO2 time series. I want to fit this series seasonal cycle and trend with fourth harmonic function, and then compute residuals.
I am doing something like: file<-read.csv("co2data.csv") names(file) attach(file) fit<-lm(co2~1+time+I(time^2)+sin(2*pi*time)+cos(2*pi*time)+sin(4*pi*time)+cos(4*pi*time)+ sin(6*pi*time)+cos(6*pi*time)+sin(8*pi*time)+cos(8*pi*time),data=file) fit$residuals # variable 'co2' is in ppmv and variable 'time' is in the form of decimal time. The problem is: when I plot above residuals vs. time, it still shows some seasonal cycle with time. SO, I doubt that I am doing something wrong. Kindly help, how to fit correctly, a fourth harmonic function on CO2 which is varying with variable 'time'. Great thanks, Regards, Yogesh -- Yogesh K.
