Nonlinear Regression with Harris Recurrent Markov Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study parametric nonlinear regression under the Harris recurrent Markov chain framework. We first consider the nonlinear least squares estimators of the parameters in the homoskedastic case, and establish asymptotic theory for the proposed estimators. Our results show that the convergence rates for the estimators rely not only on the properties of the nonlinear regression function, but also on the number of regenerations for the Harris recurrent Markov chain. We also discuss the estimation of the parameter vector in a conditional volatility function and its asymptotic theory. Furthermore, we apply our results to the nonlinear regression with I(1) processes and establish an asymptotic distribution theory which is comparable to that obtained by Park and Phillips (2001). Some simulation studies are provided to illustrate the proposed approaches and results.

Further Criteria for Positive Harris Recurrence of Markov Chains
We provide several necessary and sufficient conditions for a Markov chain on a general state space to be positive Harris recurrent. The conditions only concern asymptotic properties of the expected occupation measures.
متن کاملUniform convergence rates for a class of martingales with application in non-linear co-integrating regression
For a class of martingales, this paper provides a framework on the uniform consistency with broad applicability. The main condition imposed is only related to the conditional variance of the martingale, which holds true for stationary mixing time series, stationary iterated random function, Harris recurrent Markov chain and I(1) processes with innovations being a linear process. Using the estab...
متن کاملRegeneration-based statistics for Harris recurrent Markov chains
Harris Markov chains make their appearance in many areas of statistical modeling, in particular in time series analysis. Recent years have seen a rapid growth of statistical techniques adapted to data exhibiting this particular pattern of dependence. In this paper an attempt is made to present how renewal properties of Harris recurrent Markov chains or of specific extensions of the latter may b...
متن کاملHarris Recurrence of Metropolis-Within-Gibbs and Trans-Dimensional Markov Chains
A φ-irreducible and aperiodic Markov chain with stationary probability distribution will converge to its stationary distribution from almost all starting points. The property of Harris recurrence allows us to replace “almost all” by “all,” which is potentially important when running Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. Full-dimensional Metropolis–Hastings algorithms are known to be Harris recur...
متن کاملLocal Composite Quantile Regression Smoothing for Harris Recurrent Markov Processes.
In this paper, we study the local polynomial composite quantile regression (CQR) smoothing method for the nonlinear and nonparametric models under the Harris recurrent Markov chain framework. The local polynomial CQR regression method is a robust alternative to the widely-used local polynomial method, and has been well studied in stationary time series. In this paper, we relax the stationarity ...
