Detecting Dependence in Heavy-Tailed Time Series using Portmanteau-type dependence tests
نویسنده
چکیده
We use the sample covariation to develop asymptotic tests for independence for data in the normal domain of attraction of a stable law. The tests can be used for finite or infinite variance processes. In a simulation study we compare the finite sample performance of the proposed tests to the Portmanteau test commonly used in time series modeling. The null convergence of the test statistics to their asymptotic distribution seems to be faster than that of the Portmanteau statistic, especially when the data is fat-tailed. In the finite variance case, the proposed tests have the same asymptotic power properties as the Portmanteau test and have similar small sample empirical power. Simulations indicate the covariation test has a higher power for small sample sizes when the process is symmetric stable with tail decay parameter α > 1.6.

How to Detect Linear Dependence on the Copula Level?
In many practical situations, the dependence between the quantities is linear or approximately linear. Knowing that the dependence is linear simplifies computations; so, is is desirable to detect linear dependencies. If we know the joint probability distribution, we can detect linear dependence by computing Pearson’s correlation coefficient. In practice, we often have a copula instead of a full...

متن کاملMoving Average Processes with Infinite Variance
The sample autocorrelation function (acf) of a stationary process has played a central statistical role in traditional time series analysis, where the assumption is made that the marginal distribution has a second moment. Now, the classical methods based on acf are not applicable in heavy tailed modeling. Using the codifference function as dependence measure for such processes be shown it be as...
متن کاملNonparametric quantile regression with heavy-tailed and strongly dependent errors
We consider nonparametric estimation of the conditional qth quantile for stationary time series. We deal with stationary time series with strong time dependence and heavy tails under the setting of random design. We estimate the conditional qth quantile by local linear regression and investigate the asymptotic properties. It is shown that the asymptotic properties are affected by both the time ...
متن کاملHigh-level dependence in time series models
We present several notions of high-level dependence for stochastic processes, which have appeared in the literature. We calculate such measures for discrete and continuous-time models, where we concentrate on time series with heavy-tailed marginals, where extremes are likely to occur in clusters. Such models include linear models and solutions to random recurrence equations; in particular, disc...
