چکیده

This paper introduces a simple frequency domain test to discern whether two stationary time series have the same autocovariance function. The driving idea is that two stationary short-memory autocovariances coincide over all lags if and only if the corresponding spectral densities agree. As the spectral density is easily estimated via the periodogram, and the asymptotics of the periodogram are well known, a statistic based on the log-ratio of periodogram ordinates is proposed and explored. An application of the method is given. The exposition is made accessible to a general audience, although rudimentary familiarity with spectral densities and periodograms is assumed.

On Nonparametric and Semiparametric Testing for Multivariate Linear Time Series

We formulate nonparametric and semiparametric hypothesis testing of multivariate stationary linear time series in a unified fashion and propose new test statistics based on estimators of the spectral density matrix. The limiting distributions of these test statistics under null hypotheses are always normal distributions, and they can be implemented easily for practical use. If null hypotheses a...

New Results in Multivariate Time Series with Applications

This dissertation presents some new results in stationary multivariate time series. The asymptotic properties of the sample autocovariance are established, that is, we derive a multivariate version of Bartlett’s Classic Formula. The estimation of the autocovariance function plays a crucial role in time series analysis, in particular for the identification problem. Explicit formula for vector au...

Wide Band Noises: Invariant Results

In applications wide band noises are observed by autocovariance functions. At the same time there are infinitely many wide band noises having the same autocovariance function. Each of these wide band noises creates its own best estimate and optimal control. Therefore, it is practically important to obtain filtering and control results which depend on autocovariance function and independent on r...

On the identification of certain rational transfer functions from truncated autocovariance sequences

Let H(z) = 1k=0 Hkz k be a q p rational causal minimum phase transfer function, and let (Rn)n2 be the autocovariance sequence associated to the spectral density H(z)H (z ): In this paper, the authors address the identification problem of H(z) from the truncated autocovariance sequence (Rn)n6=0 for the case q > p:

The influence of the log-conductivity autocovariance structure on macrodispersion coefficients.

Macrodispersion coefficients are derived for heterogeneous porous media under ergodic and nonergodic conditions. Influences of the log-conductivity autocovariance function on macrodispersion are investigated through six commonly used isotropic log-conductivity autocorrelation models. They are the exponential, Gaussian, spherical, linear, Whittle and Mizell A-type models. Analytical expressions ...
