Fractional integrated ARMA (ARFIMA) models are investigated in this article for different measures of the UK unemployment. The analysis is carried out using the Sowell (1992) procedure of estimating by maximum likelihood in...

The article proposes a novel two-stage network traffic anomaly detection method for the railway transportation critical infrastructure monitored using wireless sensor networks (WSN). The first step of the proposed solution is to find and eliminate any outlying observations in the analyzed parameters of the WSN traffic using a simple and fast one-dimensional quartile criterion. In the second ste...

Long memory analysis is one of the most active areas in econometrics and time series where various methods have been introduced to identify estimate long parameter partially integrated series. One common models used represent that a ARFIMA (Auto Regressive Fractional Integration Moving Average Model) which diffs are fractional number called parameter. To analyze determine model, fractal must be...

This paper extends the results of Byers, Davidson and Peel (1997) on long memory in support for the Conservative and Labour Parties in the UK using longer samples and additional poll series. It finds continuing support for the ARFIMA(0,d,0) model though with somewhat smaller values of the long memory parameter. We find that the move to telephone polling in the mid-1990s has no apparent effect o...
