Tapered Block Bootstrap for Unit Root Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new bootstrap procedure for unit root testing based on the tapered block bootstrap is introduced. This procedure is similar to previous tests that were based on the block bootstrap and stationary bootstrap, but it has the advantage of the tapering procedure that has been previously shown to reduce the bias of the variance estimator by an order of magnitude. In this paper, the procedure is defined including a specific data-driven method for choosing the block size. Both theoretical results for the asymptotic behavior of the test as well as simulations which address the small sample properties and are used for comparison to other methods are given.

Unit Root Testing via the Continuous-path Block Bootstrap By
A new resampling procedure, the continuous-path block bootstrap, is proposed in the context of testing for integrated (unit root) time series. The continuous-path block bootstrap (CBB) is a nonparametric procedure that successfully generates unit root integrated pseudo time series retaining the important characteristics of the data, e.g., the dependence structure of the stationary process drivi...
متن کاملResidual - Based Block Bootstrap for Unit Root Testing
A nonparametric, residual-based block bootstrap procedure is proposed in the context of testing for integrated (unit root) time series. The resampling procedure is based on weak assumptions on the dependence structure of the stationary process driving the random walk and successfully generates unit root integrated pseudo-series retaining the important characteristics of the data. It is more gen...
متن کاملUnit Root Test in a Threshold Autoregression: Asymptotic Theory and Residual-based Block Bootstrap
There is a growing literature on unit root testing in threshold autoregressive models. This paper makes two contributions to the literature. First, an asymptotic theory is developed for unit root testing in a threshold autoregression, in which the errors are allowed to be dependent and heterogeneous, and the lagged level of the dependent variable is employed as the threshold variable. The asymp...
متن کاملGeneralized Seasonal Tapered Block Bootstrap
In this paper a new block bootstrap method for periodic times series called Generalized Seasonal Tapered Block Bootstrap (GSTBB) is introduced. Consistency of the GSTBB for parameters associated with periodically correlated time series is shown; these are the overall mean, seasonal means and Fourier coefficients of the autocovariance function. Consequently, the construction of bootstrap pointwi...
متن کاملThe Continuous - Path Block - Bootstrap
The situation where the available data arise from a general linear process with a unit root is discussed. We propose a modi cation of the Block Bootstrap which generates replicates of the original data and which correctly imitates the unit root behavior and the weak dependence structure of the observed series. Validity of the proposed method for estimating the unit root distribution is shown. R...
