چکیده
Log periodogram (LP) regression is shown to be consistent and to have a mixed normal limit distribution when the memory parameter d 1⁄4 1. Gaussian errors are not required. The proof relies on a new result showing that asymptotically infinite collections of discrete Fourier transforms (dft’s) of a short memory process at the fundamental frequencies in the vicinity of the origin can be treated as asymptotically independent normal variates, provided one does not include too many dft’s in the collection. r 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Log-periodogram Regression of Time Series with Long Range Dependence
This paper discusses the use of fractional exponential models (Robinson (1990), Beran (1994)) to model the spectral density f(x) of a covariance stationary process when f(x) may be decomposed as f(x) = x ?2d f (x), where f (x) is bounded and bounded away from zero. A form of log-periodogram regression technique is presented both in the parametric context (i.e. f (x) is a nite order exponential ...
متن کاملMonotone spectral density estimation
We propose two estimators of a unimodal or monotone spectral density, that are based on the periodogram. These are the isotonic regression of the periodogram and the isotonic regression of the log-periodogram. We derive pointwise limit distribution results for the proposed estimators for short memory linear processes and long memory Gaussian processes and also that the estimators are rate optimal.
متن کاملAugmented log-periodogram regression in long memory signal plus noise models
The estimation of the memory parameter in perturbed long memory series has recently attracted attention motivated especially by the strong persistence of the volatility of many financial and economic time series and the use of Long Memory in Stochastic Volatility (LMSV) processes to model such a behaviour. This paper proposes an extension of the log periodogram regression which explicitly accou...
متن کاملSmall Sample Bootstrap Confidence Intervals for Long-Memory Parameter
The log periodogram regression is widely used in empirical applications because of its simplicity, since only a least squares regression is required to estimate the memory parameter, d, its good asymptotic properties and its robustness to misspecification of the short term behavior of the series. However, the asymptotic distribution is a poor approximation of the (unknown) finite sample distrib...
متن کاملLong-memory in volatilities of German stock returns
We show that there is strong evidence of long-range dependence in the volatilities of several German stock returns. This will be done by estimating the memory parameter of the absolute returns with classical log-periodogram regression as well as by employing the tapered periodogram. Both estimators give similar values for the memory parameter what indicates long-memory.
