自回归持续时间模型的自助法AI 解读

This paper develops bootstrap methods for likelihood-based inference in autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models, where the sample size is endogenously determined by durations observed over a fixed time span. This feature fundamentally shapes the asymptotic framework, particularly so when the durations do not have finite expectation. Building on recent limit theory for heavy-tailed and integrated ACD processes, we analyze recursive bootstrap schemes that either fix…

边界问题中似然比检验的统一临界值AI 解读

Limit distributions of likelihood ratio statistics are well-known to be discontinuous in the presence of nuisance parameters at the boundary of the parameter space, which lead to size distortions when standard critical values are used for testing. In this paper, we propose a new and simple way of constructing critical values that yields uniformly correct asymptotic size, regardless of whether nuisance parameters are at, near or far from the boundary of the parameter space.…

超越均值：无限均值自回归条件持续期模型的极限理论与检验AI 解读

Integrated autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models serve as natural counterparts to the well-known integrated GARCH models used for financial returns. However, despite their resemblance, asymptotic theory for ACD is challenging and also not complete, in particular for integrated ACD. Central challenges arise from the facts that (i) integrated ACD processes imply durations with infinite expectation, and (ii) even in the non-integrated case, conventional asymptotic…

广义自回归条件持续期模型的渐近理论AI 解读

Engle and Russell (1998, Econometrica, 66:1127--1162) apply results from the GARCH literature to prove consistency and asymptotic normality of the (exponential) QMLE for the generalized autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) model, the so-called ACD(1,1), under the assumption of strict stationarity and ergodicity. The GARCH results, however, do not account for the fact that the number of durations over a given observation period is random. Thus, in contrast with Engle and…

参数位于边界的时间序列模型：惩罚准似然估计与模型选择AI 解读

We extend the theory from Fan and Li (2001) on penalized likelihood-based estimation and model-selection to statistical and econometric models which allow for non-negativity constraints on some or all of the parameters, as well as time-series dependence. It differs from classic non-penalized likelihood estimation, where limiting distributions of likelihood-based estimators and test-statistics are non-standard, and depend on the unknown number of parameters on the boundary of…

金融持续时间建模的计量经济学AI 解读

We establish new results for estimation and inference in financial durations models, where events are observed over a given time span, such as a trading day, or a week. For the classical autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models by Engle and Russell (1998, Econometrica 66, 1127-1162), we show that the large sample behavior of likelihood estimators is highly sensitive to the tail behavior of the financial durations. In particular, even under stationarity, asymptotic…

门限框架下自助法检验的有效性AI 解读

We consider bootstrap-based testing for threshold effects in non-linear threshold autoregressive (TAR) models. It is well-known that classic tests based on asymptotic theory tend to be oversized in the case of small, or even moderate sample sizes, or when the estimated parameters indicate non-stationarity, as often witnessed in the analysis of financial or climate data. To address the issue we propose a supremum Lagrange Multiplier test statistic (sLMb), where the null…

Hawkes 及一般点过程的 Bootstrap 推断AI 解读

Inference and testing in general point process models such as the Hawkes model is predominantly based on asymptotic approximations for likelihood-based estimators and tests. As an alternative, and to improve finite sample performance, this paper considers bootstrap-based inference for interval estimation and testing. Specifically, for a wide class of point process models we consider a novel bootstrap scheme labeled 'fixed intensity bootstrap' (FIB), where the conditional…

不等式约束参数空间中的最小p值得分检验AI 解读

Score tests have the advantage of requiring estimation alone of the model restricted by the null hypothesis, which often is much simpler than models defined under the alternative hypothesis. This is typically so when the alternative hypothesis involves inequality constraints. However, existing score tests address only jointly testing all parameters of interest; a leading example is testing all ARCH parameters or variances of random coefficients being zero or not. In such…

GARCH 过程的模型设定检验AI 解读

This paper develops tests for the correct specification of the conditional variance function in GARCH models when the true parameter may lie on the boundary of the parameter space. The test statistics considered are of Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramér-von Mises type, and are based on a certain empirical process marked by centered squared residuals. The limiting distributions of the test statistics are not free from (unknown) nuisance parameters, and hence critical values cannot…

非平稳随机波动率下的自助法AI 解读

In this paper we investigate how the bootstrap can be applied to time series regressions when the volatility of the innovations is random and non-stationary. The volatility of many economic and financial time series displays persistent changes and possible non-stationarity. However, the theory of the bootstrap for such models has focused on deterministic changes of the unconditional variance and little is known about the performance and the validity of the bootstrap when the…
