Optimal Instrumental Variables Estimation for ARMA Models
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a new class of Instrumental Variables estimators for linear processes and in particular ARMA models is developed. Previously, IV estimators based on lagged observations as instruments have been used to account for unmodelled MA(q) errors in the estimation of the AR parameters. Here it is shown that these IV methods can be used to improve efficiency of linear time series estimators in the presence of unmodelled conditional heteroskedasticity. Moreover an IV estimator for both the AR and MA parts is developed. Estimators based on a Gaussian likelihood are inefficient members of the class of IV estimators analyzed here when the innovations are conditionally heteroskedastic.

Refined Instrumental Variable methods for closed-loop system identification
This paper describes optimal instrumental variable methods for identifying discretetime transfer function models when the system operates in closed-loop. Several noise models required for the design of optimal prefilters and instruments are analyzed and different approaches are developed according to whether the controller is known or not. Moreover, a new optimal refined instrumental variable t...
متن کاملHammerstein system identification by non-parametric instrumental variables
A mixed, parametric–non-parametric routine for Hammerstein system identification is presented. Parameters of a non-linear characteristic and of ARMA linear dynamical part of Hammerstein system are estimated by least squares and instrumental variables assuming poor a priori knowledge about the random input and random noise. Both subsystems are identified separately, thanks to the fact that the u...
متن کاملOptimal Estimation of Multivariate ARMA Models
Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models are a fundamental tool in time series analysis that offer intuitive modeling capability and efficient predictors. Unfortunately, the lack of globally optimal parameter estimation strategies for these models remains a problem: application studies often adopt the simpler autoregressive model that can be easily estimated by maximizing (a posteriori) like...
متن کاملEstimation in ARMA models based on signed ranks
In this paper we develop an asymptotic theory for estimation based on signed ranks in the ARMA model when the innovation density is symmetrical. We provide two classes of estimators and we establish their asymptotic normality with the help of the asymptotic properties for serial signed rank statistics. Finally, we compare our procedure to the one of least-squares, and we illustrate the performa...
متن کاملSelecting Optimal Arma Order by a Minimum Spectrum Distance Criterion
In general, an optimal model which has the best effect in a specific application among the different estimated models may not necessarily have the same order as the actual model. The objective of the present paper is to propose a criterion for selecting the optimal order model which gives the minimum ARMA spectral estimation error. The model spectral distance (MSD) is proposed to measure the di...
