Estimating seasonal long-memory processes: a Monte Carlo study

چکیده
This paper discusses extensions of the popular methods proposed by Geweke and Porter-Hudak [Geweke, J. and Porter-Hudak, S., 1983, The estimation and application of long memory times series models. Journal of Time Series Analysis, 4(4), 221–238.] and Fox and Taqqu [Fox, R. and Taqqu, M.S., 1986, Large-sample properties of parameter estimates for strongly dependent stationary Gaussian time series. Annals of Statistics, 14, 517–532.] for estimating the long-memory parameter of autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average models to the estimation of long-range dependent models with seasonal components. The proposed estimates are obtained from a selection of harmonic frequencies chosen between the seasonal frequencies. The maximum likelihood method given in Beran [Beran, J., 1994, Statistic for Long-Memory Processes (New York: Chapman & Hall).] and the semi-parametric approaches introduced by Arteche and Robinson [Arteche, J. and Robinson, P.M., 2000, Semiparametric inference in seasonal and cyclical long memory processes. Journal of Time Series Analysis, 21(1), 1–25.] are also considered in the study. Our finite sample Monte Carlo investigations indicate that the proposed methods perform well and can be used as alternative estimating procedures when the data display both long-memory and cyclical behavior.

Testing Fractional Order of Long Memory Processes: A Monte Carlo Study
Testing the fractionally integrated order of seasonal and non-seasonal unit roots is quite important for the economic and financial time series modelling. In this paper, Robinson test (1994) is applied to various well-known long memory models. Via Monte Carlo experiments, we study and compare the performances of this test using several sample sizes.
متن کاملRobust Estimation in Seasonal Long-memory Processes with Additive Outliers
In this paper, we introduce an alternative semiparametric estimator of the fractionally differencing parameter in Gaussian SARFIMA processes which is robust against additive outliers. The proposed estimator is a variant of the estimators proposed by Reisen, Rodrigues & Palma(2006a, 2006b) and Fajardo, Reisen & Cribari-Neto (2008). We show the robustness of our estimator both analytically and th...
متن کاملEstimating and Forecasting Generalized Fractional Long Memory Stochastic Volatility Models
This paper considers a flexible class of time series models generated by Gegenbauer polynomials incorporating the long memory in stochastic volatility (SV) components in order to develop the General Long Memory SV (GLMSV) model. We examine the corresponding statistical properties of this model, discuss the spectral likelihood estimation and investigate the finite sample properties via Monte Car...
متن کاملThe Stochastic Unit Root Model and Fractional Integration: an Extension to the Seasonal Case
In a recent paper, Yoon (2003) shows that the Stochastic Unit Root (STUR) model is closely related to long memory processes, and, in particular, that it is a special case of an I(d) process, with d = 1.5. In this paper we further examine this issue by using parametric and semiparametric techniques for modelling long memory. In particular, we extend the analysis by considering both non-normality...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to Estimating the Long Memory Parameter
We develop a Bayesian procedure for analyzing stationary long-range dependent processes. Specifically, we consider the fractional exponential model (FEXP) to estimate the memory parameter of a stationary long-memory Gaussian time series. In particular, we propose a hierarchical Bayesian model and make it fully adaptive by imposing a prior distribution on the model order. Further, we describe a ...
