On Recursive Estimation for Locally Stationary Time Varying Autoregressive Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper focuses on recursive estimation of locally stationary autoregressive processes. The stability of the model is revisited and uniform results are provided when the time-varying autoregression parameters belong to appropiate smoothness classes. An adequate normalization for the correction term used in the recursive estimation procedure allows for very mild assumptions on the innovations distributions. The rate of convergence of the pointwise estimates are shown to be minimax in β-Lipschitz classes for 0 < β ≤ 1. For 1 < β ≤ 2, this property does no longer hold; a bias reduction method is proposed for recovering the minimax rate. Finally, an asymptotic expansion of the estimation error is given, allowing both for an explicit asymptotic expansion of the mean-square error and for a central limit theorem.

Nonparametric Quasi-maximum Likelihood Estimation for Gaussian Locally Stationary Processes1 by Rainer Dahlhaus
This paper deals with nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation for Gaussian locally stationary processes. Our nonparametric MLE is constructed by minimizing a frequency domain likelihood over a class of functions. The asymptotic behavior of the resulting estimator is studied. The results depend on the richness of the class of functions. Both sieve estimation and global estimation are conside...
متن کاملNonparametric regression for locally stationary time series
In this paper, we study nonparametric models allowing for locally stationary regressors and a regression function that changes smoothly over time. These models are a natural extension of time series models with time-varying coefficients. We introduce a kernel-based method to estimate the time-varying regression function and provide asymptotic theory for our estimates. Moreover, we show that the...
متن کاملSome New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets
Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...
متن کاملLocally Stationary Long Memory Estimation
Spectral analysis of strongly dependent time series data has a long history in applications in a variety of fields, such as, e.g., telecommunication, meteorology, hydrology or, more recently, financial and economical data analysis. There exists a wide literature on parametrically or semi-parametrically modelling such processes using a long-memory parameter d, including more recent work on wavel...
متن کاملMaximum likelihhood estimation and model selection for nonstationary processes
The Gaussian maximum likelihood estimate is investigated for time series models that have locally a stationary behaviour (e.g. for time varying autoregressive models). The asymptotic properties are studied in the case where the fitted model is either correct or misspecified. For example the behaviour of the maximum likelihood estimate is explained in the case where a stationary model is fitted ...
