Minimally biased nonparametric regression and autoregression
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nonparametric regression estimator is introduced which adapts to the smoothness of the unknown function being estimated. This property allows the new estimator to automatically achieve minimal bias over a large class of locally smooth functions without changing the rate at which the variance converges. Optimal convergence rates are shown to hold for both i.i.d. data and autoregressive processes satisfying strong mixing conditions.

Bootstrap Confidence Bands for the Autoregression Function
We derive a strong approximation of a local polynomial estimator (LPE) in nonparametric autoregression by an LPE in a corresponding nonparame-tric regression model. This generally suggests the application of regression-typical tools for statistical inference in nonparametric autoregressive models. It provides an important simpliication for the bootstrap method to be used: It is enough to mimic ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Equivalence of Nonparametric Autoregression and Nonparametric Regression
where (εi)i=1,...,n are i.i.d. random variables. The unknown autoregression function f is then the target of statistical inference and the development of efficient estimators is a natural task for theoretically oriented statisticians. On the one hand, it has been recognized for a long time that commonly used estimators in model (1) have the same asymptotic behavior as corresponding estimators i...
متن کاملModel Specification Testing in Nonparametric Time Series Regression with Nonstationarity
This paper considers a class of nonparametric autoregression models with nonstationarity in the mean and then a class of nonparametric time series regression models with nonstationarity in both the conditional mean and conditional variance. For the nonparametric autoregression case, we propose a nonparametric unit–root test for the conditional mean. For the nonparametric time series regression ...
متن کاملAsymptotic theory for local time density estimation and nonparametric cointegrating regression
Asymptotic theory is developed for local time density estimation for a general class of functionals of integrated time series. The main result provides a convenient basis for developing a limit theory for nonparametric cointegrating regression and nonstationary autoregression. The treatment directly involves local time estimation and the density function of the processes under consideration, pr...
متن کاملStatistical inference for nonparametric GARCH models
We consider extensions of the famous GARCH(1, 1) model where the recursive equation for the volatilities is not specified by a parametric link but by a smooth autoregression function. Our goal is to estimate this function under nonparametric constraints when the volatilities are observed with multiplicative innovation errors. We construct an estimation procedure whose risk attains the usual con...
