Ramadan Effect: A Structural Time-Series Test

Structural Time Series Models

1 Trend and Cycle Decomposition y t = t + t where y t is an n 1 vector and t and t represent trend and cycle components respectively. This decomposition into components is not unique. Beveridge and Nelson (1981) and Stock and Watson (1988) derive the following decomposition: y t = C(L)" t = C(1)" t + (1 L)C (L)" t Integrating up gives: y t = C(1) 1 X i=0 " ti | {z } + C (L)" t | {z } trend cycl...

A Bootstrap Test for Time Series Linearity

A bootstrap algorithm is proposed for testing Gaussianity and linearity in stationary time series, and consistency of the relevant bootstrap approximations is proven rigorously for the first time. Subba Rao and Gabr (1980) and Hinich (1982) have formulated some well-known nonparametric tests for Gaussianity and linearity based on the asymptotic distribution of the normalized bispectrum. The pro...

با توجه به تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها ما دریافتیم که سطح درامد و تعداد نمایندگیها باتقاضای بیمه عمر رابطه مستقیم دارند و نرخ بهره و بار تکفل با تقاضای بیمه عمر رابطه عکس دارند

Surrogate Test for Pseudoperiodic Time Series Data

For time series exhibiting strong periodicities, standard (linear) surrogate methods are not useful. We describe a new algorithm that can test against the null hypothesis of a periodic orbit with uncorrelated noise. We demonstrate the application of this method to artificial data and experimental time series, including human electrocardiogram recordings during sinus rhythm and ventricular tachy...
