A Method for Estimating Distributed Lags When Observations are Randomly Missing
观测随机缺失时分布滞后系数的估计方法
Abstract : This paper presents a frequency-domain technique for estimating distributed lag coefficients (the impulse-response function) when observations are randomly missed. The technique treats stationary processes with randomly missed observations as amplitude-modulated processes and estimates the transfer function accordingly. Estimates of the lag coefficients are obtained by taking the inverse transform of the estimated transfer function. Results with artificially…
