Signal Extraction and the Formulation of Unobserved Components Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper looks at unobserved components models and examines the implied weighting patterns for signal extraction. There are three main themes. The rst is the implications of correlated disturbances driving the components, especially those cases in which the correlation is perfect. The second is how setting up models with t distributed disturbances leads to weighting patterns which are robust to outliers and breaks. The third is a comparison of implied weighting patterns with kernels used in nonparametric trend estimation and equivalent kernels used in spline smoothing. We also examine how weighting patterns are a ected by heteroscedasticity and irregular spacing and provide an illustrative example.

Fads Models with Markov Switching Hetroskedasticity: decomposing Tehran Stock Exchange return into Permanent and Transitory Components
Stochastic behavior of stock returns is very important for investors and policy makers in the stock market. In this paper, the stochastic behavior of the return index of Tehran Stock Exchange (TEDPIX) is examined using unobserved component Markov switching model (UC-MS) for the 3/27/2010 until 8/3/2015 period. In this model, stock returns are decomposed into two components; a permanent componen...
متن کاملSignal Extraction in Continuous Time and the Generalized Hodrick-Prescott Filter
A widely used filter to extract a signal in a time series, in particular in the business cycle analysis, is the Hodrick-Prescott filter. The model that underlies the filter considers the data series as the sum of two unobserved component (signal and non signal) and a smoothing parameter which for quarterly series is set to a specified value. This paper proposes a generalization of the Hodrick-P...
متن کاملModel Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
متن کاملExtraction of Sensory part of Ulnar Nerve Signal Using Blind Source Separation Method
A recorded nerve signal via an electrode is composed of many evokes or action potentials, (originated from individual axons) which may be considered as different initial sources. Recovering these primitive sources in its turn may lead us to the anatomic originations of a nerve signal which will give us outstanding foresights in neural rehabilitations. Accordingly, clinical interests may be r...
متن کاملForecasting and Signal Extraction with Misspecified Models
The paper illustrates and compares estimation methods alternative to maximum likelihood, among which multistep estimation and leave-one-out cross-validation, for the purposes of signal extraction, and in particular the separation of the trend from the cycle in economic time series, and longrange forecasting, in the presence of a misspecified, but simply parameterised model. Our workhorse models...
