Modelling Political Popularity: An Analysis of Long Range Dependence in Opinion Poll Series
A simple model of political popularity, as recorded by opinion polls of voting intentions, is proposed. We show that, as a consequence of aggregating heterogeneous poll responses under certain assumptions about the evolution of individual opinion, the time series of poll data should exhibit long memory characteristics. In an analysis of the monthly Gallup data on party support in the UK, we con...
متن کاملIdentifying Common Long-range Dependence in a Vector Time Series
We propose a method to identify common persistent components in a k-dimensional time series. Assuming that the individual series of the vector process have long-range dependence, we apply canonical correlation analysis to the series and its lagged values. A zero canonical correlation implies the existence of a short-memory linear combination, hence the existence of common long-range dependence;...
متن کاملSpecification Testing in Nonlinear Time Series with Long – Range Dependence
This paper proposes a model specification testing procedure for parametric specification of the conditional mean function in a nonlinear time series model with long–range dependence. An asymptotically normal test is established even when long–range dependence is involved. In order to implement the proposed test in practice using a simulated example, a bootstrap simulation procedure is establish...
متن کاملPatients' Opinion Poll
Physical treatment is only one aspect of the therapeutic process in a psychiatric hospital. Personal relationships between patients and members of the staff and between patient and patient in the wards are also important but little is known about the extent to which they favour recovery. In this article Dr. F. T. Thorpe describes a Patients' Opinion Poll held at Middlewood Hospital, Sheffield t...
متن کاملLog-periodogram Regression of Time Series with Long Range Dependence
This paper discusses the use of fractional exponential models (Robinson (1990), Beran (1994)) to model the spectral density f(x) of a covariance stationary process when f(x) may be decomposed as f(x) = x ?2d f (x), where f (x) is bounded and bounded away from zero. A form of log-periodogram regression technique is presented both in the parametric context (i.e. f (x) is a nite order exponential ...
