Inference for Autocorrelations in the Possible Presence of a Unit Root
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of making inference for the autocorrelations of a time series in the possible presence of a unit root. Even when the underlying series is assumed to be strictly stationary, the robustness against a unit root is a desirable property to ensure good finite-sample coverage in case the series has a near unit root. In addition to discussing a confidence interval for the autocorrelation at a given lag, we also consider a simultaneous confidence band for the first k autocorrelations. We suggest the use of the subsampling method applied to properly studentized statistics, which results in confidence intervals and bands with asymptotically correct coverage probability. An application to practical model selection is given, while a simulation study examines finite-sample performance.

Estimate Output of a Production Unit in Production Possibility Set with Fuzzy Inference Mechanism
In this paper, we consider the production possibility set with n production units such that the following four principles that governs: inclusion observations, conceivability, immensity and convexity. Our goal is to estimate the output of a same and new production unit with existing production possibility and amount of input is specified. So, initially we find the interval changes of each input...
متن کاملAccurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution
Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...
متن کاملA Study of Testing Mean Reversion in the Inflation Rate of Iran’s Provinces: New Evidence Using Quantile Unit Root Test
T his paper is to examine the mean reverting properties of inflation rates for Iran’s 25 provinces over the period from 1990:4 to 2017:7. To the end, we use various conventional univariate linear and non-linear unit root tests, as well as quantile unit root test by Koenker and Xiao (2004). Results of conventional unit root tests indicate that the null hypothesis of the unit root test...
متن کاملبررسی وجود همگرایی تصادفی و بتا در مصرف سرانهی انرژی کشورهای عضو اوپک
The stochastic and β convergences of per capita energy use (PCEU) in the OPEC member countries are examined during the period 1971-2011. Several unit root tests, including the test introduced by Lee and Strazicich (2003) are used to examine the existence of the stochastic convergence in the series. Next, to study the possibility of the existence of β-convergence, the approach of Perro...
متن کاملUnit Commitment in Presence of Wind Power Plants and Energy Storage
As renewable energy increasingly penetrates into power grid systems, new challenges arise for system operators to keep the systems reliable under uncertain circumstances, while ensuring high utilization of renewable energy. This paper presents unit commitment (UC) which takes into account the volatility of wind power generation. The UC problem is solved with the forecasted intermittent wind pow...
