Testing temporal disaggregation
نویسنده
چکیده
Economists and econometricians very often work with data which has been temporally disaggregated prior to use. Hence, the quality of the disaggregation clearly affects the quality of the analyses. Building on Chow and Lin’s (1971) disaggregation model this paper proposes a new estimation approach and a specification test which assesses the quality of the disaggregation model. An advantage of the proposal is that estimation and testing can both be pursued using the aggregated data while the standard method requires a mixture of high and low frequency data. A small simulation study shows that the test indeed provides useful information. JEL classification: F31, F47, C53

Temporal Disaggregation of Time Series
Temporal disaggregation methods are used to disaggregate low frequency time series to higher frequency series, where either the sum, the average, the first or the last value of the resulting high frequency series is consistent with the low frequency series. Temporal disaggregation can be performed with or without one or more high frequency indicator series. The package tempdisagg is a collectio...

Rain gauge stations that measure fine scale rainfall are mainly limited in number or in the length of the recorded data. Therefore, temporal disaggregation models have been considered because of their ability in generating fine scale data from coarse scale measurements of rainfall. In this study, microcanonical cascade model, which is based on the scaling properties of rainfall and consta...
متن کاملGenerating Daily Synthetic Landsat Imagery by Combining Landsat and MODIS Data
Owing to low temporal resolution and cloud interference, there is a shortage of high spatial resolution remote sensing data. To address this problem, this study introduces a modified spatial and temporal data fusion approach (MSTDFA) to generate daily synthetic Landsat imagery. This algorithm was designed to avoid the limitations of the conditional spatial temporal data fusion approach (STDFA) ...
متن کاملTemporal disaggregation of time series based on accumulated and inverse accumulated generating operations and interpolation method
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a new temporal disaggregation method for time series based on the accumulated and inverse accumulated generating operations in grey modeling and the interpolation method. Design/methodology/approach – This disaggregation method includes three main steps, including accumulation, interpolation, and differentiation (AID). First, a low frequency flo...
