Nonparametric density estimation for linear processes with infinite variance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider nonparametric estimation of marginal density functions of linear processes by using kernel density estimators. We assume that the innovation processes are i.i.d. and have infinite-variance. We present the asymptotic distributions of the kernel density estimators with the order of bandwidths fixed as h = cn−1/5, where n is the sample size. The asymptotic distributions depend on both the coefficients of linear processes and the tail behavior of the innovations. In some cases, the kernel estimators have the same asymptotic distributions as for i.i.d. observations. In other cases, the normalized kernel density estimators converge in distribution to stable distributions. A simulation study is also carried out to examine small sample properties.

متن کاملNonparametric Estimation for Lévy Models Based on Discrete-Sampling
A Lévy model combines a Brownian motion with drift and a purejump homogeneous process such as a compound Poisson process. The estimation of the Lévy density, the infinite-dimensional parameter controlling the jump dynamics of the process, is studied under a discrete-sampling scheme. In that case, the jumps are latent variables whose statistical properties can in principle be assessed when the f...
متن کاملIntersection bounds: estimation and inference
We develop a practical and novel method for inference on intersection bounds, namely bounds defined by either the infimum or supremum of a parametric or nonparametric function, or equivalently, the value of a linear programming problem with a potentially infinite constraint set. Our approach is especially convenient in models comprised of a continuum of inequalities that are separable in parame...

The contribution of this book is to collect most recent research of Bayesian nonparametric techniques together, with main emphasis on the use of Dirichlet process. The popularity of Dirichlet process is because that the Dirichlet prior is nonparametric and conjugate, thus presents many opportunities to flexibly model complex data structure. The book incorporates the Bayesian philiosophy into th...
