Estimators for Long Range Dependence: An Empirical Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of a simulation study into the properties of 12 different estimators of the Hurst parameter, H, or the fractional integration parameter, d, in long memory time series. We compare and contrast their performance on simulated Fractional Gaussian Noises and fractionally integrated series with lengths between 100 and 10,000 data points and H values between 0.55 and 0.90 or d values between 0.05 and 0.40. We apply all 12 estimators to the Campito Mountain data and estimate the accuracy of their estimates using the Beran goodness of fit test for long memory time series. MCS code: 37M10

A frequency domain empirical likelihood for short- and long-range dependence
This paper introduces a version of empirical likelihood based on the periodogram and spectral estimating equations. This formulation handles dependent data through a data transformation (i.e., a Fourier transform) and is developed in terms of the spectral distribution rather than a time domain probability distribution. The asymptotic properties of frequency domain empirical likelihood are studi...
متن کاملRobust Estimation of the Scale and of the Autocovariance Function of Gaussian Short and Long-range Dependent Processes
A desirable property of an autocovariance estimator is to be robust to the presence of additive outliers. It is well-known that the sample autocovariance, being based on moments, does not have this property. Hence, the use of an autocovariance estimator which is robust to additive outliers can be very useful for time-series modeling. In this paper, the asymptotic properties of the robust scale ...
متن کاملLong-range dependence: now you see it, now you don't!
Over the last few years, the network community has started to make heavy use of novel concepts such as self-similarity and Long-Range Dependence (LRD). Despite their wide use, there is still much confusion regarding the identification of such phenomena in real network traffic data. In this paper, we show that estimating Long-Range Dependence is not straightforward: there is no systematic or def...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Performance of the Unified Approach to Linearization of Variance Estimation after Imputation with Some Other Methods
Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...
متن کاملVariations and estimators for the selfsimilarity order through Malliavin calculus
A selfsimilar process is a stochastic process such that any part of its trajectory is invariant under time scaling. Selfsimilar processes are of considerable interest in practice in modeling various phenomena, including internet traffic (see e.g. [26]), hydrology (see e.g. [11] ), or economics (see e.g. [10], [25]). In various applications, empirical data also shows strong correlation of observ...
