Abstract. Non‐parametric regression models have been studied well including estimating the conditional mean function, the conditional variance function and the distribution function of errors. In addition, empirical likelihood methods have been proposed to construct confidence intervals for the conditional mean and variance. Motivated by applications in risk management, we propose an empirical likelihood method for constructing a confidence interval for the pth conditional value‐at‐risk based on the non‐parametric regression model. A simulation study shows the advantages of the proposed method.  相似文献

Suppose we observe an ergodic Markov chain on the real line, with a parametric model for the autoregression function, i.e. the conditional mean of the transition distribution. If one specifies, in addition, a parametric model for the conditional variance, one can define a simple estimator for the parameter, the maximum quasi-likelihood estimator. It is robust against misspecification of the conditional variance, but not efficient. We construct an estimator which is adaptive in the sense that it is efficient if the conditional variance is misspecified, and asymptotically as good as the maximum quasi-likelihood estimator if the conditional variance is correctly specified. The adaptive estimator is a weighted nonlinear least-squares estimator, with weights given by predictors for the conditional variance.  相似文献

The statistical literature on the analysis of discrete variate time series has concentrated mainly on parametric models, that is the conditional probability mass function is assumed to belong to a parametric family. Generally, these parametric models impose strong assumptions on the relationship between the conditional mean and variance. To generalize these implausible assumptions, this paper instead considers a more realistic semiparametric model, called random rounded integer-valued autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (RRINARCH) model, where there are essentially no assumptions on the relationship between the conditional mean and variance. The new model has several advantages: (a) it provides a coherent semiparametric framework for discrete variate time series, in which the conditional mean and variance can be modeled separately; (b) it allows negative values both for the series and its autocorrelation function; (c) its autocorrelation structure is the same as that of a standard autoregressive (AR) process; (d) standard software for its estimation is directly applicable. For the new model, conditions for stationarity, ergodicity and the existence of moments are established and the consistency and asymptotic normality of the conditional least squares estimator are proved. Simulation experiments are carried out to assess the performance of the model. The analyses of real data sets illustrate the flexibility and usefulness of the RRINARCH model for obtaining more realistic forecast means and variances.  相似文献

现有基于参数模型构造的条件异方差检验往往存在模型设定偏误问题。为了避免模型误设对检验结果的影响,并且同时捕获多种条件异方差现象,本文基于非参数回归构造了不依赖于特定模型形式的条件异方差检验统计量。该统计量可视作条件方差和无条件方差之间差异的加权平均,在原假设成立时渐近服从标准正态分布。数值模拟结果一方面表明本文统计量具有良好的有限样本性质,另一方面也说明条件均值模型误设会导致错误地拒绝条件同方差的原假设,凸显了本文引入非参数方法构造条件异方差检验的必要性。实证分析采用本文统计量探讨了国际主要股指收益率的条件异方差现象,得到了与Engle (1982)不同的检验结果,可能意味着股指收益率呈现出非线性动态特征。  相似文献

This paper deals with the nonparametric estimation of the mean and variance functions of univariate time series data. We propose a nonparametric dimension reduction technique for both mean and variance functions of time series. This method does not require any model specification and instead we seek directions in both the mean and variance functions such that the conditional distribution of the current observation given the vector of past observations is the same as that of the current observation given a few linear combinations of the past observations without loss of inferential information. The directions of the mean and variance functions are estimated by maximizing the Kullback–Leibler distance function. The consistency of the proposed estimators is established. A computational procedure is introduced to detect lags of the conditional mean and variance functions in practice. Numerical examples and simulation studies are performed to illustrate and evaluate the performance of the proposed estimators.  相似文献

We study the suitability of different modelling methods for joint prediction of mean and variance based on large data sets. We review the approaches to the modelling of conditional variance function that are capable of handling a problem where conditional variance depends on about 10 explanatory variables and training dataset consists of 100 000 observations. We present a promising approach for neural network modelling of mean and dispersion. We compare different approaches in predicting the mechanical properties of steel in two case data sets collected from the production line of a steel plate mill. As a conclusion we give some recommendations concerning the modelling of conditional variance in large datasets.  相似文献

This paper is concerned with testing the presence of ARCH within the ARCH-M model as the alternative hypothesis. Standard testing procedures are inapplicable since a nuisance parameter is unidentified under the null hypothesis. Nonetheless, the diagnostic tests for the presence of the conditional variance is very important since any misspecification in the conditional variance equation leads to inconsistent estimates of the conditional mean parameters. BTo resolve the problem of unidentified nuisance parameter, 'Ne apply Davies' approach, and investigate its finite sample performance through a Monte Carlo study.  相似文献

This paper considers a time series model with a piecewise linear conditional mean and a piecewise linear conditional variance which is a natural extension of Tong's threshold autoregressive model. The model has potential applications in modelling asymmetric behaviour in volatility in the financial market. Conditions for stationarity and ergodicity are derived. Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator and two model diagnostic checking statistics are also presented. An illustrative example based on the Hong Kong Hang Seng index is also reported.  相似文献

Count data are routinely assumed to have a Poisson distribution, especially when there are no straightforward diagnostic procedures for checking this assumption. We reanalyse two data sets from crossover trials of treatments for angina pectoris , in which the outcomes are counts of anginal attacks. Standard analyses focus on treatment effects, averaged over subjects; we are also interested in the dispersion of these effects (treatment heterogeneity). We set up a log-Poisson model with random coefficients to estimate the distribution of the treatment effects and show that the analysis is very sensitive to the distributional assumption; the population variance of the treatment effects is confounded with the (variance) function that relates the conditional variance of the outcomes, given the subject's rate of attacks, to the conditional mean. Diagnostic model checks based on resampling from the fitted distribution indicate that the default choice of the Poisson distribution for the analysed data sets is poorly supported. We propose to augment the data sets with observations of the counts, made possibly outside the clinical setting, so that the conditional distribution of the counts could be established.  相似文献

This paper proposes a simple and flexible count data regression model which is able to incorporate overdispersion (the variance is greater than the mean) and which can be considered a competitor to the Poisson model. As is well known, this classical model imposes the restriction that the conditional mean of each count variable must equal the conditional variance. Nevertheless, for the common case of well-dispersed counts the Poisson regression may not be appropriate, while the count regression model proposed here is potentially useful. We consider an application to model counts of medical care utilization by the elderly in the USA using a well-known data set from the National Medical Expenditure Survey (1987), where the dependent variable is the number of stays after hospital admission, and where 10 explanatory variables are analysed.  相似文献

This article proposes semiparametric generalized least-squares estimation of parametric restrictions between the conditional mean and the conditional variance of excess returns given a set of parametric factors. A distinctive feature of our estimator is that it does not require a fully parametric model for the conditional mean and variance. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimates. The theory is nonstandard due to the presence of estimated factors. We provide sufficient conditions for the estimated factors not to have an impact in the asymptotic standard error of estimators. A simulation study investigates the finite sample performance of the estimates. Finally, an application to the CRSP value-weighted excess returns highlights the merits of our approach. In contrast to most previous studies using nonparametric estimates, we find a positive and significant price of risk in our semiparametric setting.  相似文献

In this paper, an autoregressive time series model with conditional heteroscedasticity is considered, where both conditional mean and conditional variance function are modeled nonparametrically. Tests for the model assumption of independence of innovations from past time series values are suggested. Tests based on weighted L2‐distances of empirical characteristic functions are considered as well as a Cramér–von Mises‐type test. The asymptotic distributions under the null hypothesis of independence are derived, and the consistency against fixed alternatives is shown. A smooth autoregressive residual bootstrap procedure is suggested, and its performance is shown in a simulation study.  相似文献

A bivariate integer-valued moving average (BINMA) model is proposed. The BINMA model allows for both positive and nagative correlation between the counts. This model can be seen as an inverse of the conditional duration model in the sense that short durations in a time interval correspond to a large count and vice versa. The conditional mean, variance, and covariance of the BINMA model are given. Model extensions to include explanatory variables are suggested. Using the BINMA model for AstraZeneca and Ericsson B, it is found that there is positive correlation between the stock transactions series. Empirically, we find support for the use of long-lag bivariate moving average models for the two series.  相似文献

Estimation of the single-index model with a discontinuous unknown link function is considered in this paper. Existed refined minimum average variance estimation (rMAVE) method can estimate the single-index parameter and unknown link function simultaneously by minimising the average pointwise conditional variance, where the conditional variance can be estimated using the local linear fit method with centred kernel function. When there are jumps in the link function, big biases around jumps can appear. For this reason, we embed the jump-preserving technique in the rMAVE method, then propose an adaptive jump-preserving estimation procedure for the single-index model. Concretely speaking, the conditional variance is obtained by the one among local linear fits with centred, left-sided and right-sided kernel functions who has minimum weighted residual mean squares. The resulting estimators can preserve the jumps well and also give smooth estimates of the continuity parts. Asymptotic properties are established under some mild conditions. Simulations and real data analysis show the proposed method works well.  相似文献

This paper proposes a new approach, based on the recent developments of the wavelet theory, to model the dynamic of the exchange rate. First, we consider the maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) to decompose the level exchange rates into several scales. Second, we focus on modelling the conditional mean of the detrended series as well as their volatilities. In particular, we consider the generalized fractional, one-factor, Gegenbauer process (GARMA) to model the conditional mean and the fractionally integrated generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity process (FIGARCH) to model the conditional variance. Moreover, we estimate the GARMA-FIGARCH model using the wavelet-based maximum likelihood estimator (Whitcher in Technometrics 46:225–238, 2004). To illustrate the usefulness of our methodology, we carry out an empirical application using the daily Tunisian exchange rates relative to the American Dollar, the Euro and the Japanese Yen. The empirical results show the relevance of the selected modelling approach which contributes to a better forecasting performance of the exchange rate series.  相似文献

The performance of nonparametric function estimates often depends on the choice of design points. Based on the mean integrated squared error criterion, we propose a sequential design procedure that updates the model knowledge and optimal design density sequentially. The methodology is developed under a general framework covering a wide range of nonparametric inference problems, such as conditional mean and variance functions, the conditional distribution function, the conditional quantile function in quantile regression, functional coefficients in varying coefficient models and semiparametric inferences. Based on our empirical studies, nonparametric inference based on the proposed sequential design is more efficient than the uniform design and its performance is close to the true but unknown optimal design.

This paper provides a semiparametric framework for modeling multivariate conditional heteroskedasticity. We put forward latent stochastic volatility (SV) factors as capturing the commonality in the joint conditional variance matrix of asset returns. This approach is in line with common features as studied by Engle and Kozicki (1993), and it allows us to focus on identication of factors and factor loadings through first- and second-order conditional moments only. We assume that the time-varying part of risk premiums is based on constant prices of factor risks, and we consider a factor SV in mean model. Additional specification of both expectations and volatility of future volatility of factors provides conditional moment restrictions, through which the parameters of the model are all identied. These conditional moment restrictions pave the way for instrumental variables estimation and GMM inference.  相似文献

Because sliced inverse regression (SIR) using the conditional mean of the inverse regression fails to recover the central subspace when the inverse regression mean degenerates, sliced average variance estimation (SAVE) using the conditional variance was proposed in the sufficient dimension reduction literature. However, the efficacy of SAVE depends heavily upon the number of slices. In the present article, we introduce a class of weighted variance estimation (WVE), which, similar to SAVE and simple contour regression (SCR), uses the conditional variance of the inverse regression to recover the central subspace. The strong consistency and the asymptotic normality of the kernel estimation of WVE are established under mild regularity conditions. Finite sample studies are carried out for comparison with existing methods and an application to a real data is presented for illustration.  相似文献

A procedure for testing simultaneously, the parametric forms of the conditional mean and the conditional variance functions of a real-valued heteroscedastic time series model is proposed. The Wald test statistic is based on a vector whose components are suitable normalized sums of some weighted residual series. The test is consistent under some fixed alternatives. The local power under two sequences of local alternatives is studied. A LAN property for the parametric model of interest is also established. Experiment conducted shows that the test performs well on the examples tested.  相似文献
