Parameter Estimation for INAR Processes Based on High-Order Statistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high-order statistics (moments and cumulants of order higher than two) have been widely applied in several fields, specially in problems where it is conjectured a lack of Gaussianity and/or non-linearity. Since the INteger-valued AutoRegressive, INAR, models are non-Gaussian, the high-order statistics can provide additional information that allows a better characterization of these processes. Thus, an estimation method for the parameters of an INAR model, based on Least Squares applied on third-order moments is proposed. The results of a Monte Carlo study, to investigate the performance of the estimator, are presented and the method is applied to a set of real data.

Bootstrapping INAR Models
Integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) time series form a very useful class of processes suitable to model time series of counts. In the common formulation of Du and Li (1991, JTSA), INAR models of order p share the autocorrelation structure with classical autoregressive time series. This fact allows to estimate the INAR coefficients, e.g., by Yule-Walker estimators. However, contrary to the AR c...
متن کاملPoisson-Lindley INAR(1) Processes: Some Estimation and Forecasting Methods
This paper focuses on different methods of estimation and forecasting in first-order integer-valued autoregressive processes with Poisson-Lindley (PLINAR(1)) marginal distribution. For this purpose, the parameters of the model are estimated using Whittle, maximum empirical likelihood and sieve bootstrap methods. Moreover, Bayesian and sieve bootstrap forecasting methods are proposed and predict...
متن کاملAsymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator for INAR(p) processes
The INteger-valued AutoRegressive (INAR) processes were introduced in the literature by Al-Osh and Alzaid (1987) and McKenzie (1988) for modelling correlated series of counts. These processes have been considered as the discrete counter part of AR processes, but their highly nonlinear characteristics lead to some statistically challenging problems, namely in parameter estimation. Several estima...

In this article introduce the sequential order statistics. Therefore based on multiply Type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics, Bayesian estimators are derived for the parameters of one- and two- parameter exponential distributions under the assumption that the prior distribution is given by an inverse gamma distribution and the Bayes estimator with respect to squared error loss ...
