Nonminimum phase non-Gaussian autoregressive processes.

Nonminimum phase non-Gaussian autoregressive processes.

The structure of non-Gaussian autoregressive schemes is described. Asymptotically efficient methods for the estimation of the coefficients of the models are described under appropriate conditions, some of which relate to smoothness and positivity of the density function f of the independent random variables generating the process. The principal interest is in nonminimum phase models.

Parameter estimation for non-Gaussian autoregressive processes

It is proposed to jointly estimate the parameters of nonGaussian autoregressive (AR) processes in a Bayesian context using the Gibbs sampler. Using the Markov chains produced by the sampler an approximation to the vector MAP estimator is implemented. The results reported here used AR(4) models driven by noise sequences where each sample is iid as a two component Gaussian sum mixture. The result...

Sequential Parameter Estimation of Time-Varying Non-Gaussian Autoregressive Processes

Parameter estimation of time-varying non-Gaussian autoregressive processes can be a highly nonlinear problem. The problem gets even more difficult if the functional form of the time variation of the process parameters is unknown. In this paper, we address parameter estimation of such processes by particle filtering, where posterior densities are approximated by sets of samples (particles) and p...

Non-Gaussian Autoregressive Processes with Tukey g-and-h Transformations

When performing a time series analysis of continuous data, for example from climate or environmental problems, the assumption that the process is Gaussian is often violated. Therefore, we introduce two non-Gaussian autoregressive time series models that are able to fit skewed and heavy-tailed time series data. Our two models are based on the Tukey g-and-h transformation. We discuss parameter es...
