True or Spurious Long Memory? A New Test
真实还是伪长记忆？一种新检验
It is well known that long memory characteristics observed in data can be generated by nonstationary structural-break or slow regime switching models. We propose a statistical test to distinguish between true long memory and spurious long memory based on invariance of the long memory parameter for temporal aggregates of the process under the null of true long memory. Geweke Porter-Hudak estimates of the long memory parameter obtained from different temporal aggregates of the…
