Nonstationarity-extended Whittle Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
For long memory time series models with uncorrelated but dependent errors, we establish the asymptotic normality of the Whittle estimator under mild conditions. Our framework includes the widely used FARIMA models with GARCH-type innovations. To cover nonstationary fractionally integrated processes, we extend the idea of Abadir, Distaso and Giraitis (2007, Journal of Econometrics 141, 13531384) and develop the nonstationarity-extended Whittle estimation. The resulting estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal and is more efficient than the tapered Whittle estimator. Finally, the results from a small simulation study are presented to corroborate our theoretical findings.

Estimating long memory in volatility
We consider semiparametric estimation of the memory parameter in a model which includes as special cases both the long-memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) and fractionally integrated exponential GARCH (FIEGARCH) models. Under our general model the logarithms of the squared returns can be decomposed into the sum of a long-memory signal and a white noise. We consider periodogram-based estimators ...
متن کاملAn extended ACDC algorithm for the blind estimation of convolutive mixing systems
This paper presents an extension of the ACDC algorithm introduced by Yeredor for the instantaneous mixing problem to the more general convolutive mixing problem with non-white sources. Further assumptions made on the source signals are their mutual statistical independence, nonstationarity and smoothness of their power spectra. The algorithm iterates the estimation of the mixing system (AC step...
متن کاملCressie-Read Power-Divergence Statistics for Non-Gaussian Vector Stationary Processes
For a class of vector-valued non-Gaussian stationary processes, we develop the Cressie-Read power-divergence (CR) statistic approach which has been proposed for the i.i.d. case. The CR statistic includes empirical likelihood as a special case. Therefore, by adopting this CR statistic approach, the theory of estimation and testing based on empirical likelihood is greatly extended. We use an exte...
متن کاملExact Local Whittle Estimation of Fractional Integration∗
An exact form of the local Whittle likelihood is studied with the intent of developing a general-purpose estimation procedure for the memory parameter (d) that does not rely on tapering or differencing prefilters. The resulting exact local Whittle estimator is shown to be consistent and to have the same N(0, 1 4 ) limit distribution for all values of d if the optimization covers an interval of ...
متن کاملAutomatic Local Smoothing for Spectral Density Estimation
This article uses local polynomial techniques to t Whittle's likelihood for spectral density estimation. Asymptotic sampling properties of the proposed estimators are derived, and adaptation of the proposed estimator to the boundary eeect is noted. We show that the Whittle likelihood based estimator has advantages over the least-squares based log-periodogram. The bandwidth for the Whittle likel...
