Confidence intervals for the largest root of autoregressive models based on instrumental variable estimators
نویسندگان
چکیده
For estimating the largest root of autoregressive (AR) models, we propose an instrumental variable scheme which discounts a large value of regressors corresponding to the largest roots. The pivotal value of the estimator of the largest root is asymptotically normal for any value of the largest root. This fact allows us to construct a simple confidence interval based on 6standard error, say, with good coverage probability and shorter average length than those of [J. Monetary Economics, 28, 1991, 435–459] and [Econometrica, 61, 1993, 139–165]. 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Modified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
متن کاملStatistical Inference in Autoregressive Models with Non-negative Residuals
Normal residual is one of the usual assumptions of autoregressive models but in practice sometimes we are faced with non-negative residuals case. In this paper we consider some autoregressive models with non-negative residuals as competing models and we have derived the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters based on the modified approach and EM algorithm for the competing models. Also,...
متن کاملivmodel: An R Package for Inference and Sensitivity Analysis of Instrumental Variables Models with One Endogenous Variable
We present a unified R software ivmodel for analyzing instrumental variables with one endogenous variable. The package implements a general class of estimators, k-class estimators, and two confidence intervals that are fully robust to weak instruments. The package also provides power formulas. Finally, the package contains methods for sensitivity analysis to examine the sensitivity to the the i...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for Autoregressive Coefficients Near One
Often we are interested in the largest root of an autoregressive process. Available methods rely on inverting t-tests to obtain confidence intervals. However, for large autoregressive roots, t-tests do not approximate asymptotically uniformly most powerful tests and do not have optimality properties when inverted for confidence intervals. We exploit the relationship between the power of tests a...
متن کاملA review of instrumental variable estimators for Mendelian randomization
Instrumental variable analysis is an approach for obtaining causal inferences on the effect of an exposure (risk factor) on an outcome from observational data. It has gained in popularity over the past decade with the use of genetic variants as instrumental variables, known as Mendelian randomization. An instrumental variable is associated with the exposure, but not associated with any confound...
