چکیده

This paper presents a unified framework of stationary ARMA processes for discrete-valued time series based on Pegram’s [Pegram, G.G.S., 1980. An autoregressive model for multilag markov chains. J. Appl. Probab. 17, 350–362] mixing operator. Such a stochastic operator appears to be more flexible than the currently popular thinning operator to construct Box and Jenkins’ type stationary ARMAprocesseswith arbitrary discretemarginal distributions. This flexibility allows us to yield an ARMAmodel for time series of binomial or categorical observations as a special case, which was unavailable with the extended thinning operator [Joe, H., 1996. Time series models with univariate margins in the convolution-closed infinitely divisible class. J. Appl. Probab. 33, 664–677] because the binomial/categorical distribution is not infinitely divisible. We also study parameter estimation and comparison with the thinning operator based method, whenever applicable. Real data examples are used to examine and illustrate the proposed method. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Binomial Arma Count Series from Renewal Processes

This paper describes a new method for generating stationary integervalued time series from renewal processes. We prove that if the lifetime distribution of renewal processes is nonlattice and the probability generating function is rational, then the generated time series satisfy causal and invertible ARMA type stochastic difference equations. The result provides an easy method for generating in...

A Note on Non-negative Arma Processes

Recently, there are much works on developing models suitable for analyzing the volatility of a discrete-time process. Within the framework of Auto-Regressive Moving-Average (ARMA) processes, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the kernel to be non-negative. This condition is in terms of the generating function of the ARMA kernel which has a simple form. We discuss some useful con...

Multivariate Markov-switching ARMA processes with regularly varying noise

The tail behaviour of stationary R-valued Markov-Switching ARMA processes driven by a regularly varying noise is analysed. It is shown that under appropriate summability conditions the MS-ARMA process is again regularly varying as a sequence. Moreover, the feasible stationarity condition given in Stelzer (2006) is extended to a criterion for regular variation. Our results complement in particul...

MCMC for Integer Valued ARMA Processes

The Classical statistical inference for integer valued time-series has primarily been restricted to the integer valued autoregressive (INAR) process. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been shown to be a useful tool in many branches of statistics and is particularly well suited to integer valued time-series where statistical inference is greatly assisted by data augmentation. Thus in ...

A Note on the Covariance Structure of a Continuous-time Arma Process

We have derived some matrix equations for speedy computation of the conditional covariance kernel of a discrete-time process obtained from irregularly sampling an underlying continuous-time ARMA process. These results are applicable to both stationary and non-stationary ARMA processes. We have also demonstrated that these matrix results can be useful in shedding new insights on the covariance s...
