Testing the tail index in autoregressive models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a class of nonparametric tests on the Pareto tail index of the innovation distribution in the linear autoregressive model. The simulation study illustrates a good performance of the tests. Such tests have various applications in a study of flood flows, rainflow data, behavior of solids, atmospheric ozone layer and reliability analysis, in communication engineering, in stock markets and insurance.

Test for tail index change in stationary time series with Pareto-type marginal distribution
The tail index, indicating the degree of fatness of the tail distribution, is an important component of extreme value theory since it dominates the asymptotic distribution of extreme values such as the sample maximum. In this paper, we consider the problem of testing for a change in the tail index of time series data. As a test, we employ the cusum test and investigate its null limiting distrib...
متن کاملAnalysis of Realized Volatility in Tehran Stock Exchange using Heterogeneous Autoregressive Models Approach
Objective: The present study aims atinvestigating the behavior of realized volatility for high-frequency data of Tehran Stock Index from April28th, 2012 to August 8th, 2018. Methods: Three different types of HAR models including of HAR-RV-CJ, HAR-RV and HAR-RVJ were used to analyze the Realized Volatility. Results: The obtained results of three diverse models revealed that the estimated Reali...
متن کاملTail behaviour and extremes of two-state Markov-switching autoregressive models
We examine the tail behaviour and extremal cluster characteristics of two-state Markov-switching autoregressive models where the first regime behaves like a random walk, the second regime is a stationary autoregression, and the generating noise is light-tailed. Under additional technical conditions we prove that the stationary solution has asymptotically exponential tail and the extremal index ...
متن کاملAsymmetry, Fat-tail, and Autoregressive Conditional Density in Financial Return Data with Systems of Frequency Curves
Asymmetry and fat-tail are both stylized facts of financial return data. Many asymmetric and fat-tailed distributions have been used to model the innovation in autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models. This article introduces two more distributions from systems of frequency curves into the ARCH context: Pearson’s Type IV and Johnson’s SU. Both distributions have two shape par...
متن کاملFrontiers in Time Series and Financial Econometrics: An Overview
Two of the fastest growing frontiers in econometrics and quantitative finance are time series and financial econometrics. Significant theoretical contributions to financial econometrics have been made by experts in statistics, econometrics, mathematics, and time series analysis. The purpose of this special issue of the journal on “Frontiers in Time Series and Financial Econometrics” is to highl...
