Non-Gaussian conditional linear AR(1) models

چکیده
We give a general formulation of a non-Gaussian conditional linear AR(1) model subsuming most of the non-Gaussian AR(1) models that have appeared in the literature. We derive some general results giving properties for the stationary process mean, variance and correlation structure, and conditions for stationarity. These results highlight similarities and differences with the Gaussian AR(1) model, and unify many separate results appearing in the literature. Examples illustrate the wide range of properties that can appear under the conditional linear autoregressive assumption. These results are used in analysing three real data sets, illustrating general methods of estimation, model diagnostics and model selection. In particular, we show that the theoretical results can be used to develop diagnostics for deciding if a time series can be modelled by some linear autoregressive model, and for selecting among several candidate models.

Conditional Dependence in Longitudinal Data Analysis
Mixed models are widely used to analyze longitudinal data. In their conventional formulation as linear mixed models (LMMs) and generalized LMMs (GLMMs), a commonly indispensable assumption in settings involving longitudinal non-Gaussian data is that the longitudinal observations from subjects are conditionally independent, given subject-specific random effects. Although conventional Gaussian...
متن کاملOn a Mixture Autoregressive Model
The assumption of Gaussian innovation terms in linear time series analysis is quite restrictive. Under this assumption, both the marginal and conditional distributions of the time series are Gaussian. However, in real life many time series display features which seem to violate the Gaussian assumption. For example, Chan and Tong (1998) show that the Canadian lynx data have a bimodal marginal di...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملOn the Economic Costs of Value at Risk Forecasts
We specify a class of non-linear and non-Gaussian models for which we estimate and forecast the conditional distributions with daily frequency. We use these forecasts to calculate VaR measures for three different equity markets (US, GB and Japan). These forecasts are evaluated on the basis of different statistical performance measures as well as on the basis of their economic costs that go alon...
متن کاملFat tails and non-linearity in volatility models: what is more important?
Since the seminal works of Engle [7] and Bollerslev [3] about heteroskedastic return series models, many extensions of their (G)ARCH models have been proposed in the literature. In particular, the functional dependence of conditional variances and the shape of the conditional distribution of returns have been varied in several ways (see [1] and [5] for an extensive overview). These two issues h...
