Abstract. The idea of fractional differencing is introduced in terms of the
infinite filter that corresponds to the expansion of (1‐B)d. When the filter is
applied to white noise, a class of time series is generated with distinctive
properties, particularly in the very low frequencies and provides potentially
useful long‐memory forecasting properties. Such models are shown to possibly
arise from a... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract. The definitions of fractional Gaussian noise and integrated (or
fractionally differenced) series are generalized, and it is shown that the two
concepts are equivalent. A new estimator of the long memory parameter in these
models is proposed, based on the simple linear regression of the log periodogram
on a deterministic regressor. The estimator is the ordinary least squares
estimator of ... hiện toàn bộ
A new test is proposed for cointegration in a single‐equation framework where
the regressors are weakly exogenous for the parameters of interest. The test is
denoted as an error‐correction mechanism (ECM) test and is based upon the
ordinary least squares coefficient of the lagged dependent variable in an
autoregressive distributed lag model augmented with leads of the regressors. The
limit distrib... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract. An approach to smoothing and forecasting for time series with missing
observations is proposed. For an underlying state‐space model, the EM algorithm
is used in conjunction with the conventional Kalman smoothed estimators to
derive a simple recursive procedure for estimating the parameters by maximum
likelihood. An example is given which involves smoothing and forecasting an
economic ser... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract. Squared‐residual autocorrelations have been found useful in detecting
nonlinear types of statistical dependence in the residuals of fitted
autoregressive‐moving average (ARMA) models (Granger and Andersen, 1978; Miller,
1979). In this note it is shown that the normalized squared‐residual
autocorrelations are asymptotically unit multivariate normal. The results of a
simulation experiment ... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract. Stable autoregressive (AR) and autoregressive moving average (ARMA)
processes belong to the class of stationary linear time series. A linear time
series {} is Gaussian if the distribution of the independent innovations {ε(t)}
is normal. Assuming that Eε(t) = 0, some of the third‐order cumulants
cxxx=Ex(t)x(t+m)x(t+n) will be non‐zero if the ε(t) are not normal and Eε3(t)≠O.

Abstract. The problem of estimating the threshold parameter, i.e., the change
point, of a threshold autoregressive model is studied. By introducing smoothness
into the model, sampling properties of the conditional least‐squares estimate
may be obtained. Artificial and real data are used for illustrations.
Abstract. Local high‐order polynomial fitting is employed for the estimation of
the multivariate regression function m(x1,…xd) =E{φ(Yd)φX1=x1,…,Xd=xd}, and of
its partial derivatives, for stationary random processes {Yi, Xi}. The function
φ may be selected to yield estimates of the conditional mean, conditional
moments and conditional distributions. Uniform strong consistency over compact
subsets ... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract. Time series with a changing conditional variance have been found
useful in many applications. Residual autocorrelations from traditional
autoregressive moving‐average models have been found useful in model diagnostic
checking. By analogy, squared residual autocorrelations from fitted conditional
heteroskedastic time series models would be useful in checking the adequacy of
such models. I... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract. We compare several estimators for the second‐order autoregressive
process and compare the associated tests for a unit root. Monte Carlo results
are reported for the ordinary least squares estimator, the simple symmetric
least squares estimator and the weighted symmetric least squares estimator. The
weighted symmetric least squares estimator of the autoregressive parameters
generally has ... hiện toàn bộ
