一般误差分布下平稳自回归模型最小二乘估计量的近似矩AI 解读

I derive the approximate bias and mean squared error of the least squares estimator of the autoregressive coefficient in a stationary first-order dynamic regression model, with or without an intercept, under a general error distribution. It is shown that the effects of nonnormality on the approximate moments of the least squares estimator come into play through the skewness and kurtosis coefficients of the nonnormal error distribution.The author is grateful to the co-editor…

二次型的极限定理及其应用AI 解读

We consider quadratic forms of martingale differences and establish a central limit theorem under mild and easily verifiable conditions. By approximating Fourier transforms of stationary processes by martingales, our central limit theorem is applied to the smoothed periodogram estimate of spectral density functions. Our results go beyond earlier ones by allowing a variety of nonlinear time series and by avoiding strong mixing and/or summability conditions on joint…

无限方差 ARMA 模型的加权最小绝对偏差估计AI 解读

For autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models with infinite variance innovations, quasi-likelihood-based estimators (such as Whittle estimators) suffer from complex asymptotic distributions depending on unknown tail indices. This makes statistical inference for such models difficult. In contrast, the least absolute deviations estimators (LADE) are more appealing in dealing with heavy tailed processes. In this paper, we propose a weighted least absolute deviations estimator…

非线性过程分数阶单整参数的局部 Whittle 估计AI 解读

We study asymptotic properties of the local Whittle estimator of the long memory parameter for a wide class of fractionally integrated nonlinear time series models. In particular, we solve the conjecture posed by Phillips and Shimotsu (2004, Annals of Statistics 32, 656–692) for Type I processes under our framework, which requires a global smoothness condition on the spectral density of the short memory component. The formulation allows the widely used fractional…

演化周期函数的统计推断AI 解读

Summary In the study of variable stars, where the light reaching an observer fluctuates over time, it can be difficult to explain the nature of the variation unless it follows a regular pattern. In this respect, so-called periodic variable stars are particularly amenable to analysis. There, radiation varies in a perfectly periodic fashion, and period length is a major focus of interest. We develop methods for conducting inference about features that might account for…

多重变点问题的在线推断AI 解读

Summary We propose an on-line algorithm for exact filtering of multiple changepoint problems. This algorithm enables simulation from the true joint posterior distribution of the number and position of the changepoints for a class of changepoint models. The computational cost of this exact algorithm is quadratic in the number of observations. We further show how resampling ideas from particle filters can be used to reduce the computational cost to linear in the number of…

多元时间序列间不相关性的最优检验AI 解读

The problem of testing noncorrelation between two multivariate time series is considered. Assuming that the global process admits a joint vector autoregressive (VAR) representation, noncorrelation between the two component series is equivalent to the hypothesis that all off-diagonal blocks in the matrix coefficients and the innovation covariance of the joint VAR representation are zero. We establish an adequate local asymptotic normality (LAN) property for this VAR model in…

自回归模型中的一致有效推断AI 解读

The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical justification for some existing methods for constructing confidence intervals for the sum of coefficients in autoregressive models. We show that the methods of Stock (1991), Andrews (1993), and Hansen (1999) provide asymptotically valid confidence intervals, whereas the subsampling method of Romano and Wolf (2001) does not. In addition, we generalize the three valid methods to a larger class of statistics. We also clarify…

加州电力备用容量市场的效率AI 解读

Abstract We test the efficiency of the California electricity reserves market by examining systematic differences between its day‐ and hour‐ahead prices. We uncover significant day‐ahead premia, which we attribute to market design characteristics. On the demand side, the market design established a principal–agent relationship between the markets' buyers (principal) and their supervisory authority (agent). The agent had very limited incentives to shift reserve purchases to…

非线性非高斯状态空间模型的蒙特卡洛估计AI 解读

We develop a proposal or importance density for state space models with a nonlinear non-Gaussian observation vector y ∼ p(y¦θ) and an unobserved linear Gaussian signal vector θ ∼ p(θ). The proposal density is obtained from the Laplace approximation of the smoothing density p(θ¦y). We present efficient algorithms to calculate the mode of p(θ¦y) and to sample from the proposal density. The samples can be used for importance sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The…

计算密集型速率估计、发散统计量与扫描方法AI 解读

A general rate estimation method is proposed that is based on studying the in-sample evolution of appropriately chosen diverging/converging statistics. The proposed rate estimators are based on simple least squares arguments, and are shown to be accurate in a very general setting without requiring the choice of a tuning parameter. The notion of scanning is introduced with the purpose of extracting useful subsamples of the data series; the proposed rate estimation method is…

非平稳序列非参数变点估计量的最优收敛速率AI 解读

Let $( X_{i}) _{i=1,\ldots,n}$ be a possibly nonstationary sequence such that $\mathscr{L} (X_{i})=P_{n}$ if $i\leq n\theta $ and $\mathscr{L}(X_{i})=Q_{n}$ if $i \gt n\theta $, where $0 \lt \theta \lt 1$ is the location of the change-point to be estimated. We construct a class of estimators based on the empirical measures and a seminorm on the space of measures defined through a family of functions $\mathcal{F}$. We prove the consistency of the estimator and give rates of…

非线性时间序列的渐近谱理论AI 解读

We consider asymptotic problems in spectral analysis of stationary causal processes. Limiting distributions of periodograms and smoothed periodogram spectral density estimates are obtained and applications to the spectral domain bootstrap are given. Instead of the commonly used strong mixing conditions, in our asymptotic spectral theory we impose conditions only involving (conditional) moments, which are easily verifiable for a variety of nonlinear time series.

遍历及几何遍历马尔可夫链的大数定律AI 解读

For use in asymptotic analysis of nonlinear time series models, we show that with (Xt,t ≥ 0) a (geometrically) ergodic Markov chain, the general version of the strong law of large numbers applies. That is, the average converges almost surely to the expectation of φ(Xt,Xt+1,…) irrespective of the choice of initial distribution of, or value of, X0. In the existing literature, the less general form has been studied.We thank Paolo Paruolo (the co-editor) and the referee for…

基于 VAR 近似的协整检验修正信息准则AI 解读

We consider the cointegration tests of Johansen (1988, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 12, 231–254; 1991, Econometrica 59, 1551–1580) when a vector autoregressive (VAR) process of order k is used to approximate a more general linear process with a possibly infinite VAR representation. Traditional methods to select the lag order, such as Akaike's information criterion (AIC) or the Bayesian information criterion, often lead to too parsimonious a model with the…

I(2) 模型协整秩的似然比检验AI 解读

This paper presents the likelihood ratio (LR) test for the number of cointegrating relations in the I(2) vector autoregressive model. It is shown that the asymptotic distribution of the LR test for the cointegration ranks is identical to the asymptotic distribution of the much applied test statistic based on the two-step estimation procedure in Johansen (1995, Econometric Theory 11, 25–59), Paruolo (1996, Journal of Econometrics 72, 313–356), and Rahbek, Kongsted, and…

一般误差分布下平稳一阶自回归模型预测的有限样本性质AI 解读

We study the properties of the multi-period-ahead least-squares forecast for the stationary AR(1) model under a general error distribution. We find that the forecast is unbiased up to O(T−1), where T is the in-sample size, regardless of the error distribution and that the mean squared forecast error, up to O(T−3/2), is robust against nonnormality.The author is grateful to the co-editor Paolo Paruolo and two anonymous referees for helpful comments. The author is solely…

单位根不变检验的可用信息AI 解读

This paper considers the information available to invariant unit root tests at and near the unit root. Because all invariant tests will be functions of the maximal invariant, the Fisher information in this statistic will be the available information. The main finding of the paper is that the available information for all tests invariant to a linear trend is zero at the unit root. This result applies for any sample size, over a variety of distributions and correlation…

缓慢变化回归变量与非线性趋势回归AI 解读

Slowly varying (SV) regressors arise commonly in empirical econometric work, particularly in the form of semilogarithmic regression and log periodogram regression. These regressors are asymptotically collinear. Usual regression formulas for asymptotic standard errors are shown to remain valid, but rates of convergence are affected and the limit distribution of the regression coefficients is shown to be one dimensional. Some asymptotic representations of partial sums of SV…

弱依赖下区块变量和的渐近展开AI 解读

Let {Xi}i=−∞∞ be a sequence of random vectors and $Y_{in}=f_{in}(\mathcal{X}_{i,\ell})$ be zero mean block-variables where $\mathcal{X}_{i,\ell}=(X_{i},\ldots,X_{i+\ell-1})$, i≥1, are overlapping blocks of length ℓ and where fin are Borel measurable functions. This paper establishes valid joint asymptotic expansions of general orders for the joint distribution of the sums ∑i=1nXi and ∑i=1nYin under weak dependence conditions on the sequence {Xi}i=−∞∞ when the block length ℓ…

累积预测误差、信息准则与自回归时间序列的最优预测AI 解读

The predictive capability of a modification of Rissanen’s accumulated prediction error (APE) criterion, APEδn, is investigated in infinite-order autoregressive (AR(∞)) models. Instead of accumulating squares of sequential prediction errors from the beginning, APEδn is obtained by summing these squared errors from stage nδn, where n is the sample size and 1/n≤δn≤1−(1/n) may depend on n. Under certain regularity conditions, an asymptotic expression is derived for the…

时间序列模型的变点检验与近历依赖序列的极限定理AI 解读

This paper first establishes a strong law of large numbers and a strong invariance principle for forward and backward sums of near-epoch dependent sequences. Using these limiting theorems, we develop a general asymptotic theory on the Wald test for change points in a general class of time series models under the no change-point hypothesis. As an application, we verify our assumptions for the long-memory fractional ARIMA model.

利用长自回归估计脉冲响应函数AI 解读

This article proposes an alternative methodology to estimate impulse response functions without imposing parametric restrictions. The impulse responses are estimated by regressing the series of interest on estimated innovations, which are the residuals obtained from a prior-stage "long autoregression." We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Copyright Royal Economic Society 2007

单位根附近无约束信息矩阵估计量的不一致性AI 解读

converges to a non-degenerate random variable and contributes to the asymptotic distribution of a Wald test for the null hypothesis of a random walk versus a stable AR(1) alternative. With this newly derived asymptotic distribution, the above Wald test is found to improve its performance. A non-local criterion of asymptotic relative efficiency based on Bahadur slopes has been employed for the first time to the problem of unit root testing. The Wald test derived in the paper…
