Two-stage weighted least squares estimator of the conditional mean of observation-driven time series models
观测驱动时间序列条件均值的两阶段加权最小二乘估计
General parametric forms are assumed for the conditional mean λt(θ0) and variance υt of a time series. These conditional moments can for instance be derived from count time series, Autoregressive Conditional Duration or Generalized Autoregressive Score models. In this paper, our aim is to estimate the conditional mean parameter θ0, trying to be as agnostic as possible about the conditional distribution of the observations. Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimators (QMLEs) based on…
