prewhiten	Boolean variable to indicate if the IF TS is pre-whitened (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
ar.prewhiten.order	Order of AR parameter for the pre-whitening. Default is AR(1).
cleanOutliers	Boolean variable to indicate whether outliers are cleaned with a robust location and scale estimator.
cleanMethod	Robust method used to clean outliers from the TS. Default choice is "locScaleRob".
family	Family for robust m-estimator of location. Must be one of "mopt" (default), "opt" or "bisquare".
