For time series data with obvious periodicity (e.g., electric motor systems and cardiac monitor) or vague periodicity (e.g., earthquake and explosion, speech, and stock data), frequency-based techniques using the spectral analysis can usually capture the features of the series. By this approach, we are able not only to reduce the data dimensions into frequency domain but also utilize these frequencies by general classification methods such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) to classify the time series. This is a combination of two classical approaches. However, there is a difficulty in using LDA and KNN in frequency domain due to excessive dimensions of data. We overcome the obstacle by using Singular Value Decomposition to select essential frequencies. Two data sets are used to illustrate our approach. The classification error rates of our simple approach are comparable to those of several more complicated methods.  相似文献

This article builds on the test proposed by Lyhagen [The seasonal KPSS statistic, Econom. Bull. 3 (2006), pp. 1–9] for seasonal time series and having the null hypothesis of level stationarity against the alternative of unit root behaviour at some or all of the zero and seasonal frequencies. This new test is qualified as seasonal-frequency Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) test and it is not originally supported by a regression framework.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we propose a model-based regression method and provide a clear illustration of Lyhagen's test and we establish its asymptotic theory in the time domain. Secondly, we use the Monte Carlo method to study the finite-sample performance of the seasonal KPSS test in the presence of additive outliers. Our simulation analysis shows that this test is robust to the magnitude and the number of outliers and the statistical results obtained cast an overall good performance of the test finite-sample properties.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

This article proposes a method to estimate the degree of cointegration in bivariate series and suggests a test statistic for testing noncointegration based on the determinant of the spectral density matrix for the frequencies close to zero. In the study, series are assumed to be I(d), 0 < d ? 1, with parameter d supposed to be known. In this context, the order of integration of the error series is I(d ? b), b ∈ [0, d]. Besides, the determinant of the spectral density matrix for the dth difference series is a power function of b. The proposed estimator for b is obtained here performing a regression of logged determinant on a set of logged Fourier frequencies. Under the null hypothesis of noncointegration, the expressions for the bias and variance of the estimator were derived and its consistency property was also obtained. The asymptotic normality of the estimator, under Gaussian and non-Gaussian innovations, was also established. A Monte Carlo study was performed and showed that the suggested test possesses correct size and good power for moderate sample sizes, when compared with other proposals in the literature. An advantage of the method proposed here, over the standard methods, is that it allows to know the order of integration of the error series without estimating a regression equation. An application was conducted to exemplify the method in a real context.  相似文献

In this work, we propose a generalization of the classical Markov-switching ARMA models to the periodic time-varying case. Specifically, we propose a Markov-switching periodic ARMA (MS-PARMA) model. In addition of capturing regime switching often encountered during the study of many economic time series, this new model also captures the periodicity feature in the autocorrelation structure. We first provide some probabilistic properties of this class of models, namely the strict periodic stationarity and the existence of higher-order moments. We thus propose a procedure for computing the autocovariance function where we show that the autocovariances of the MS-PARMA model satisfy a system of equations similar to the PARMA Yule–Walker equations. We propose also an easily implemented algorithm which can be used to obtain parameter estimates for the MS-PARMA model. Finally, a simulation study of the performance of the proposed estimation method is provided.  相似文献

We develop an entropy-based test for randomness of binary time series of finite length. The test uses the frequencies of contiguous blocks of different lengths. A simple condition ib the block lengths and the length of the time series enables one to estimate the entropy rate for the data, and this information is used to develop a statistic to test the hypothesis of randomness. This static measures the deviation of the estimated entropy of the observed data from the theoretical maximum under the randomness hypothesis. This test offers a real alternative to the conventional runs test. Critical percentage points, based on simulations, are provided for testing the hypothesis of randomness. Power calculations using dependent data show that the proposed test has higher power against the runs test for short series, and it is similar to the runs test for long series. The test is applied to two published data sets that wree investigated by others with respect to their randomness.  相似文献

In this paper, we consider the distribution of life length of a series system with random number of components, say Z. Considering the distribution of Z as generalized Poisson, an exponential-generalized Poisson (EGP) distribution is developed. The generalized Poisson distribution is a generalization of the Poisson distribution having one extra parameter. The structural properties of the resulting distribution are presented and the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters is investigated. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to study the performance of the estimates. The score test is developed to test the importance of the extra parameter. For illustration, two real data sets are examined and it is shown that the EGP model, presented here, fits better than the exponential–Poisson distribution.  相似文献

In this article, the least squares (LS) estimates of the parameters of periodic autoregressive (PAR) models are investigated for various distributions of error terms via Monte-Carlo simulation. Beside the Gaussian distribution, this study covers the exponential, gamma, student-t, and Cauchy distributions. The estimates are compared for various distributions via bias and MSE criterion. The effect of other factors are also examined as the non-constancy of model orders, the non-constancy of the variances of seasonal white noise, the period length, and the length of the time series. The simulation results indicate that this method is in general robust for the estimation of AR parameters with respect to the distribution of error terms and other factors. However, the estimates of those parameters were, in some cases, noticeably poor for Cauchy distribution. It is also noticed that the variances of estimates of white noise variances are highly affected by the degree of skewness of the distribution of error terms.  相似文献

This paper develops a time domain score statistic for testing fractional integration at zero and seasonal frequencies in quarterly time series models. Further, it introduces the notion of fractional cointegration at different frequencies between two seasonally integrated, I(1) series. In testing problems involving seasonal fractional cointegration, it is argued that the alternative hypothesis is one-sided for which the usual score test may not be appropriate. Therefore, based on ideas in Silvapulle and Silvapulle (1995), a one-sided score statistic is constructed. A simulation study finds that the score statistic generally has desirable size and power properties in moderately sized samples. The score test is applied to the quarterly Australian consumption function. The income and consumption series are found to be I(1) at zero and seasonal frequencies and these two series are not cointegrated at any frequency.  相似文献

The distribution of the test statistics of homogeneity tests is often unknown, requiring the estimation of the critical values through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The computation of the critical values at low α, especially when the distribution of the statistics changes with the series length (sample cardinality), requires a considerable number of simulations to achieve a reasonable precision of the estimates (i.e. 106 simulations or more for each series length). If, in addition, the test requires a noteworthy computational effort, the estimation of the critical values may need unacceptably long runtimes.

To overcome the problem, the paper proposes a regression-based refinement of an initial MC estimate of the critical values, also allowing an approximation of the achieved improvement. Moreover, the paper presents an application of the method to two tests: SNHT (standard normal homogeneity test, widely used in climatology), and SNH2T (a version of SNHT showing a squared numerical complexity). For both, the paper reports the critical values for α ranging between 0.1 and 0.0001 (useful for the p-value estimation), and the series length ranging from 10 (widely adopted size in climatological change-point detection literature) to 70,000 elements (nearly the length of a daily data time series 200 years long), estimated with coefficients of variation within 0.22%. For SNHT, a comparison of our results with approximated, theoretically derived, critical values is also performed; we suggest adopting those values for the series exceeding 70,000 elements.  相似文献

To capture both the volatility evolution and the periodicity feature in the autocorrelation structure exhibited by many nonlinear time series, a Periodic AutoRegressive Stochastic Volatility (PAR-SV ) model is proposed. Some probabilistic properties, namely the strict and second-order periodic stationarity, are provided. Furthermore, conditions for the existence of higher-order moments are established. The autocovariance structure of the squares and higher order powers of the PAR-SV process is studied. Its dynamic properties are shown to be consistent with financial time series empirical findings. Ways in which the model may be estimated are discussed. Finally, a simulation study of the performance of the proposed estimation methods is provided and the PAR-SV is applied to model the spot rates of the euro and US dollar both against the Algerian dinar. The empirical analysis shows that the proposed PAR-SV model can be considered as a viable alternative to the periodic generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic (PGARCH) model.  相似文献

The spectral analysis of Gaussian linear time-series processes is usually based on uni-frequential tools because the spectral density functions of degree 2 and higher are identically zero and there is no polyspectrum in this case. In finite samples, such an approach does not allow the resolution of closely adjacent spectral lines, except by using autoregressive models of excessively high order in the method of maximum entropy. In this article, multi-frequential periodograms designed for the analysis of discrete and mixed spectra are defined and studied for their properties in finite samples. For a given vector of frequencies ω, the sum of squares of the corresponding trigonometric regression model fitted to a time series by unweighted least squares defines the multi-frequential periodogram statistic IM(ω). When ω is unknown, it follows from the properties of nonlinear models whose parameters separate (i.e., the frequencies and the cosine and sine coefficients here) that the least-squares estimator of frequencies is obtained by maximizing I M(ω). The first-order, second-order and distribution properties of I M(ω) are established theoretically in finite samples, and are compared with those of Schuster's uni-frequential periodogram statistic. In the multi-frequential periodogram analysis, the least-squares estimator of frequencies is proved to be theoretically unbiased in finite samples if the number of periodic components of the time series is correctly estimated. Here, this number is estimated at the end of a stepwise procedure based on pseudo-Flikelihood ratio tests. Simulations are used to compare the stepwise procedure involving I M(ω) with a stepwise procedure using Schuster's periodogram, to study an approximation of the asymptotic theory for the frequency estimators in finite samples in relation to the proximity and signal-to-noise ratio of the periodic components, and to assess the robustness of I M(ω) against autocorrelation in the analysis of mixed spectra. Overall, the results show an improvement of the new method over the classical approach when spectral lines are adjacent. Finally, three examples with real data illustrate specific aspects of the method, and extensions (i.e., unequally spaced observations, trend modeling, replicated time series, periodogram matrices) are outlined.  相似文献

In this paper, we use simulated data to investigate the power of different causality tests in a two-dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The data are presented in a nonlinear environment that is modelled using a logistic smooth transition autoregressive function. We use both linear and nonlinear causality tests to investigate the unidirection causality relationship and compare the power of these tests. The linear test is the commonly used Granger causality F test. The nonlinear test is a non-parametric test based on Baek and Brock [A general test for non-linear Granger causality: Bivariate model. Tech. Rep., Iowa State University and University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, 1992] and Hiemstra and Jones [Testing for linear and non-linear Granger causality in the stock price–volume relation, J. Finance 49(5) (1994), pp. 1639–1664]. When implementing the nonlinear test, we use separately the original data, the linear VAR filtered residuals, and the wavelet decomposed series based on wavelet multiresolution analysis. The VAR filtered residuals and the wavelet decomposition series are used to extract the nonlinear structure of the original data. The simulation results show that the non-parametric test based on the wavelet decomposition series (which is a model-free approach) has the highest power to explore the causality relationship in nonlinear models.  相似文献

In this article, we investigate an algorithm for the fast O(N) and approximate simulation of long memory (LM) processes of length N using the discrete wavelet transform. The algorithm generates stationary processes and is based on the notion that we can improve standard wavelet-based simulation schemes by noting that the decorrelation property of wavelet transforms is not perfect for certain LM process. The method involves the simulation of circular autoregressive process of order one. We demonstrate some of the statistical properties of the processes generated, with some focus on four commonly used LM processes. We compare this simulation method with the white noise wavelet simulation scheme of Percival and Walden [Percival, D. and Walden, A., 2000, Wavelet Methods for Time Series Analysis (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press).].  相似文献

Conventional procedures for Monte Carlo and bootstrap tests require that B, the number of simulations, satisfy a specific relationship with the level of the test. Otherwise, a test that would instead be exact will either overreject or underreject for finite B. We present expressions for the rejection frequencies associated with existing procedures and propose a new procedure that yields exact Monte Carlo tests for any positive value of B. This procedure, which can also be used for bootstrap tests, is likely to be most useful when simulation is expensive.  相似文献

Zero-inflated power series distribution is commonly used for modelling count data with extra zeros. Inflation at point zero has been investigated and several tests for zero inflation have been examined. However sometimes, inflation occurs at a point apart from zero. In this case, we say inflation occurs at an arbitrary point j. The j-inflation has been discussed less than zero inflation. In this paper, inflation at an arbitrary point j is studied with more details and a Bayesian test for detecting inflation at point j is presented. The Bayesian method is extended to inflation at arbitrary points i and j. The relationship between the distribution for inflation at point j, inflation at points i and j and missing value imputation is studied. It is shown how to obtain a proper estimate of the population variance if a mean-imputed missing at random data set is used. Some simulation studies are conducted and the proposed Bayesian test is applied on two real data sets.  相似文献

Verifying the existence of a relationship between two multivariate time series represents an important consideration. In this article, the procedure developed by Cheung and Ng [A causality-in-variance test and its application to financial market prices, J. Econom. 72 (1996), pp. 33–48] designed to test causality in variance for univariate time series is generalized in several directions. A first approach proposes test statistics based on residual cross-covariance matrices of squared (standardized) residuals and cross products of (standardized) residuals. In a second approach, transformed residuals are defined for each residual vector time series, and test statistics are constructed based on the cross-correlations of these transformed residuals. Test statistics at individual lags and portmanteau-type test statistics are developed. Conditions are given under which the new test statistics converge in distribution towards chi-square distributions. The proposed methodology can be used to determine the directions of causality in variance, and appropriate test statistics are presented. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the new test statistics offer satisfactory empirical properties. An application with two bivariate financial time series illustrates the methods.  相似文献

This article deals with the study of some properties of a mixture periodically correlated autoregressive (MPAR S ) time series model, which extends the mixture time invariant parameter autoregressive (MAR) model, that has recently received a considerable interest from many economic time series analysts, to mixture periodic parameter autoregressive model. The aim behind this extension is to make the model able to capture, in addition to all features captured by the classical MAR model, the periodicity feature exhibited by the autocovariance structure of many encountered financial and environmental time series with eventual multimodal distributions. Our main contribution here is obtaining of the second moment periodically stationary condition for a MPAR S (K; 2,…, 2) model, furthermore the closed-form of the second moment is obtained.  相似文献

In this paper an asymptotic test for the separability of the spatial AR(p 1,1) model is presented by translating the spatial problem to a multiple time series problem. It is shown that the transformed problem reduces to testing whether or not the coefficient matrices of a certain VAR(p 1) are diagonal.

Some simulation study results are also presented here to demonstrate the use of this test.  相似文献

The statistical inference problem on effect size indices is addressed using a series of independent two-armed experiments from k arbitrary populations. The effect size parameter simply quantifies the difference between two groups. It is a meaningful index to be used when data are measured on different scales. In the context of bivariate statistical models, we define estimators of the effect size indices and propose large sample testing procedures to test the homogeneity of these indices. The null and non-null distributions of the proposed testing procedures are derived and their performance is evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation. Further, three types of interval estimation of the proposed indices are considered for both combined and uncombined data. Lower and upper confidence limits for the actual effect size indices are obtained and compared via bootstrapping. It is found that the length of the intervals based on the combined effect size estimator are almost half the length of the intervals based on the uncombined effect size estimators. Finally, we illustrate the proposed procedures for hypothesis testing and interval estimation using a real data set.  相似文献

Recently, Perron has carried out tests of the unit-root hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis of trend stationarity with a break in the trend occurring at the Great Crash of 1929 or at the 1973 oil-price shock. His analysis covers the Nelson–Plosser macroeconomic data series as well as a postwar quarterly real gross national product (GNP) series. His tests reject the unit-root null hypothesis for most of the series. This article takes issue with the assumption used by Perron that the Great Crash and the oil-price shock can be treated as exogenous events. A variation of Perron's test is considered in which the breakpoint is estimated rather than fixed. We argue that this test is more appropriate than Perron's because it circumvents the problem of data-mining. The asymptotic distribution of the estimated breakpoint test statistic is determined. The data series considered by Perron are reanalyzed using this test statistic. The empirical results make use of the asymptotics developed for the test statistic as well as extensive finite-sample corrections obtained by simulation. The effect on the empirical results of fat-tailed and temporally dependent innovations is investigated, in brief, by treating the breakpoint as endogenous, we find that there is less evidence against the unit-root hypothesis than Perron finds for many of the data series but stronger evidence against it for several of the series, including the Nelson-Plosser industrial-production, nominal-GNP, and real-GNP series.  相似文献
