Continuous Time Autoregressive Models with Common Stochastic Trends
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multivariate continuous time model is presented in which a n-dimensional process is represented as the sum of k stochastic trends plus a n-dimensional stationary term, assumed to obey a system of higher-order autoregressive stochastic differential equations. When k < n, the variables are cointegrated and can be represented as linear combinations of a reduced number of common trends. An algorithm to estimate the parameters of the model is presented for the case that the trend and stationary disturbances are uncorrelated. This algorithm is used to extract a common (continuous time) stochastic trend from postwar U.S. GNP and consumption.

Seasonal Autoregressive Models for Estimating the Probability of Frost in Rafsanjan
This work develops a statistical model to assess the frost risk in Rafsanjan, one of the largest pistachio production regions in the world. These models can be used to estimate the probability that a frost happens in a given time-period during the year; a frost happens after 10 warm days in the growing season. These probability estimates then can be used for: (1) assessing the agroclimate risk ...
متن کاملCharacterizing economic trends by Bayesian stochastic model specification search
We apply a recently proposed Bayesian model selection technique, known as stochastic model specification search, for characterising the nature of the trend in macroeconomic time series. We illustrate that the methodology can be quite successfully applied to discriminate between stochastic and deterministic trends. In particular, we formulate autoregressive models with stochastic trends componen...
متن کاملEstablishing Stationarity of Time Series Models via Drift Criteria
Time series models are often constructed by combining nonstationary effects such as trends with stochastic processes that are known (or believed) to be stationary. However, there are numerous time series models for which the stationarity of the underlying process is conjectured but not yet proven. We give an approachable introduction to the use of drift criteria (also known as Lyapunov function...
متن کاملForecasting with Unobserved Components Time Series Models
Structural time series models are formulated in terms of components, such as trends, seasonals and cycles, that have a direct interpretation. As well as providing a framework for time series decomposition by signal extraction, they can be used for forecasting and for ‘nowcasting’ . The structural interpretation allows extensions to classes of models that are able to deal with various issues in ...
متن کاملSEMIFAR models - a semiparametric framework for modelling trends, long-range dependence and nonstationarity
Time series in many areas of application often display local or global trends. Typical models that provide statistical \explanations" of such trends are, for example, polynomial regression, smooth bounded trends that are estimated nonparametrically, and di erence-stationary processes such as, for instance, integrated ARIMA processes. In addition, there is a fast growing literature on stationary...
