This article deals with the adaptive estimation of a periodic autoregressive model, with unspecified innovation density satisfying only some general technical assumptions. We first establish, while verifying the adapted sufficient conditions of Swensen (1985) to our model, the Local Asymptotic Normality (LAN), the Local Asymptotic Quadratic (LAQ), and the Local Asymptotic properties satisfied by its central sequence. Secondly, the Locally Asymptotically Minimax (LAM) estimators are constructed. Using these results, we construct the adaptive estimators of the unknown autoregressive parameters. The performances of the established estimators are shown, via simulation studies. 相似文献

This paper focuses on the adaptive estimation problem of a Periodic Self-Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (PSETAR) model. The adapted sufficient conditions of Swensen (1985) to our model, are verified and then explored to establish the Local Asymptotic Normality (LAN), the Local Asymptotic Quadratic (LAQ) and the Local Asymptotic properties satisfied by its central sequence. Using these results, we construct adaptive estimators for the parameter model where the innovation density is unspecified but symmetric, while satisfying only some general conditions. The performances of these adaptive estimations are shown via simulation studies and an application on the modeling of the Fraser River data. 相似文献

This article is concerned with the periodicity testing problem in Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (ARCH) process. Adaptive locally asymptotically optimal test is derived, when the innovation density is unspecified but symmetric satisfying only some general technical assumptions, for the null hypothesis of classical ARCH process against an alternative of periodically correlated ARCH dependence. The main technical tool is LeCam's (1960) Local Asymptotic Normality (LAN) property. The LAN property of the central sequence is shown via the adapted sufficient Swensen's conditions (1985). The performance of the established test is shown via simulation studies. 相似文献

AbstractThis article is devoted to study the problem of test of periodicity in the restricted exponential autoregressive (EXPAR) model. The local asymptotic normality property, of this model, is shown via the adapted sufficient conditions due to Swensen (1985). Using this result, in the case where the innovation density is specified, we obtain a parametric local asymptotic “most stringent” test. 相似文献

The second-order local powers of a broad class of asymptotic chi-squared tests are considered in a composite case where both the parameter of interest and the nuisance parameter are possibly multidimensional for which no assumption has been made regarding global parametric orthogonality or curved exponentiality. The main result is that the second-order (point-by-point) local power identity holds if approximate third cumulants of a square-root version of the (modified) test statistic in the class vanish up to the second-order, which is an extension of Kakizawa (2010a) in the absence of the nuisance parameter. It is also shown that in the presence of the nuisance parameter, such a third cumulant condition does not always imply the second-order local unbiasedness of the resulting test. Then, the adjusted likelihood ratio test by Mukerjee (1993b) can be interpreted as the second-order local unbiased modification after applying the third cumulant condition. 相似文献

In recent research, Elliott et al. (1996) have shown the use of local-to-unity detrending via generalized least squares (GLS) to substantially increase the power of the Dickey–Fuller (1979) unit root test. In this paper the relationship between the extent of detrending undertaken, determined by the detrending parameter &art1;, and the power of the resulting GLS-based Dickey–Fuller (DF-GLS) test is examined. Using Monte Carlo simulation it is shown that the values of &art1; suggested by Elliott et al. (1996) on the basis of a limiting power function seldom maximize the power of the DF-GLS test for the finite samples encountered in applied research. This result is found to hold for the DF-GLS test including either an intercept or an intercept and a trend term. An empirical examination of the order of integration of the UK household savings ratio illustrates these findings, with the unit root hypothesis rejected using values of &art1; other than that proposed by Elliott et al. (1996). 相似文献

ABSTRACT This paper reviews and extends the literature on the finite sample behavior of tests for sample selection bias. Monte Carlo results show that, when the “multicollinearity problem” identified by Nawata (1993) is severe, (i) the t-test based on the Heckman–Greene variance estimator can be unreliable, (ii) the Likelihood Ratio test remains powerful, and (iii) nonnormality can be interpreted as severe sample selection bias by Maximum Likelihood methods, leading to negative Wald statistics. We also confirm previous findings (Leung and Yu, 1996) that the standard regression-based t-test (Heckman, 1979) and the asymptotically efficient Lagrange Multiplier test (Melino, 1982), are robust to nonnormality but have very little power. 相似文献

Nonparametric density and regression estimators commonly depend on a bandwidth. The asymptotic properties of these estimators have been widely studied when bandwidths are non stochastic. In practice, however, in order to improve finite sample performance of these estimators, bandwidths are selected by data driven methods, such as cross-validation or plug-in procedures. As a result, nonparametric estimators are usually constructed using stochastic bandwidths. In this article, we establish the asymptotic equivalence in probability of local polynomial regression estimators under stochastic and nonstochastic bandwidths. Our result extends previous work by Boente and Fraiman (1995) and Ziegler (2004). 相似文献

This article proves that the block-block bootstrap of Andrews (2004) can be helpful to provide asymptotic refinements for the GMM estimator when autocorrelation structures of moment functions are unknown (i.e., incorporating the HAC covariance matrix) and when we allow for statistics that are inefficient. The asymptotic refinements of this block-block bootstrap in the time series context are shown to exist with the use of less restricted kernels than in the block bootstrap in Inoue and Shintani (2006), since they do not require to have a characteristic exponent larger than 2. The procedure allows to apply in practice kernels that guarantee that the HAC covariance matrix estimator is positive semidefinite, and to get asymptotic refinements at the same time. 相似文献

Generalized Autoregressive (GAR) processes have been considered to model some features in time series. The Whittle's estimates have been investigated for the GAR(1) process by a simulation study by Shitan and Peiris (2008). This article derives approximate theoretical expressions for the enteries of the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix for those estimates of GAR(1) parameters. These results are supported by a simulation study. 相似文献

In practice a degree of uncertainty will always exist concerning what specification to adopt for the deterministic trend function when running unit root tests. While most macroeconomic time series appear to display an underlying trend, it is often far from clear whether this component is best modeled as a simple linear trend (so that long-run growth rates are constant) or by a more complicated nonlinear trend function which may, for instance, allow the deterministic trend component to evolve gradually over time. In this article, we consider the effects on unit root testing of allowing for a local quadratic trend, a simple yet very flexible example of the latter. Where a local quadratic trend is present but not modeled, we show that the quasi-differenced detrended Dickey–Fuller-type test of Elliott et al. (1996) has both size and power which tend to zero asymptotically. An extension of the Elliott et al. (1996) approach to allow for a quadratic trend resolves this problem but is shown to result in large power losses relative to the standard detrended test when no quadratic trend is present. We consequently propose a simple and practical approach to dealing with this form of uncertainty based on a union of rejections-based decision rule whereby the unit root is rejected whenever either of the detrended or quadratic detrended unit root tests rejects. A modification of this basic strategy is also suggested which further improves on the properties of the procedure. An application to relative primary commodity price data highlights the empirical relevance of the methods outlined in this article. A by-product of our analysis is the development of a test for the presence of a quadratic trend which is robust to whether the data admit a unit root. 相似文献

This article proposes a new nonparametric test for the ordered alternatives problem in the k-sample setting for null hypothesis of lack of trend. This article further elaborates upon and extends the results of Ledwina and Wy?upek (2012a) obtained for k = 2. Simulations show that the new test has high and stable power and is able to control the Type I error to satisfactory extent, thus solving the problem posed in Terpstra and Magel (2003). Our theoretical results say that asymptotic errors of both kinds do not exceed significance level, thus implying that the test is asymptotically unbiased. 相似文献

Abstract Estimation of a cross‐sectional spatial model containing both a spatial lag of the dependent variable and spatially autoregressive disturbances are considered. [Kelejian and Prucha (1998)]described a generalized two‐stage least squares procedure for estimating such a spatial model. Their estimator is, however, not asymptotically optimal. We propose best spatial 2SLS estimators that are asymptotically optimal instrumental variable (IV) estimators. An associated goodness‐of‐fit (or over identification) test is available. We suggest computationally simple and tractable numerical procedures for constructing the optimal instruments. 相似文献

Extending the bifurcating autoregressive (BAR) process (cf. Cowan and Staudte, 1986) to multi-casting (multi-splitting) data, Hwang and Choi (2009) introduced multi-casting autoregression (MCAR, for short) defined on multi-casting tree structured data. This article is concerned with the case when the MCAR model is partially specified only through conditional mean and variance without directly imposing autoregressive (AR) structure. The resulting class of models will be referred to as P-MCAR (partially specified MCAR). The P-MCAR considerably enlarges the class of multi-casting models including (as special cases) MCAR, random coefficient MCAR, conditionally heteroscedastic multi-casting models and binomial-thinning processes. Moment structures for this broad P-MCAR class are investigated. Least squares (LS) estimation method is discussed and asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) of the generalized-LS over ordinary-LS is obtained in a closed form. A simulation study is conducted to illustrate results. 相似文献

Recently, the topic of extreme value under random censoring has been considered. Different estimators for the index have been proposed (see Beirlant et al., 2007). All of them are constructed as the classical estimators (without censoring) divided by the proportion of non censored observations above a certain threshold. Their asymptotic normality was established by Einmahl et al. (2008). An alternative approach consists of using the Peaks-Over-Threshold method (Balkema and de Haan, 1974; Smith, 1987) and to adapt the likelihood to the context of censoring. This leads to ML-estimators whose asymptotic properties are still unknown. The aim of this article is to propose one-step approximations, based on the Newton-Raphson algorithm. Based on a small simulation study, the one-step estimators are shown to be close approximations to the ML-estimators. Also, the asymptotic normality of the one-step estimators has been established, whereas in case of the ML-estimators it is still an open problem. The proof of our result, whose approach is new in the Peaks-Over-Threshold context, is in the spirit of Lehmann's theory (1991). 相似文献

We consider a new generalization of the skew-normal distribution introduced by Azzalini (1985). We denote this distribution Beta skew-normal (BSN) since it is a special case of the Beta generated distribution (Jones, 2004). Some properties of the BSN are studied. We pay attention to some generalizations of the skew-normal distribution (Bahrami et al., 2009; Sharafi and Behboodian, 2008; Yadegari et al., 2008) and to their relations with the BSN. 相似文献

AbstractThis article considers linear models with a spatial autoregressive error structure. Extending Arnold and Wied (2010), who develop an improved generalized method of moment (GMM) estimator for the parameters of the disturbance process to reduce the bias of existing estimation approaches, we establish the asymptotic normality of a new weighted version of this improved estimator and derive the efficient weighting matrix. We also show that this efficiently weighted GMM estimator is feasible as long as the regression matrix of the underlying linear model is non stochastic and illustrate the performance of the new estimator by a Monte Carlo simulation and an application to real data. 相似文献

By applying the recursion of Huffer (1988) repeatedly, we propose an algorithm for evaluating the null joint distribution of Dixon-type test statistics for testing discordancy of k upper outliers in exponential samples. By using the critical values of Dixon-type test statistics determined from the proposed algorithm and those of Cochran-type test statistics presented earlier by Lin and Balakrishnan (2009), we carry out an extensive Monte Carlo study to investigate the powers and the error probabilities for the effects of masking and swamping when the number of outliers k = 2 and 3. Based on our empirical findings, we recommend Rosner’s (1975) sequential test procedure based on Dixon-type test statistics for testing multiple outliers from an exponential distribution. 相似文献
