In this paper, we explore some probabilistic properties and statistical analysis of multivariate constant conditional correlation GARCH (CCC-GARCH for short) model. So, in the first part we give the conditions for the model stationarity and its finite moments up to some orders. In the second part, the Whittle estimator is proposed for the parameters CCC-GARCH model based on a transformation. This Whittle estimator is shown to be consistent when the data have finite 4th moment, and its asymptotic normality is established when the data have finite 8th moment. Finite sample properties of this Whittle estimator are further examined through Monte-Carlo experiments.  相似文献

There has recently been growing interest in modeling and estimating alternative continuous time multivariate stochastic volatility models. We propose a continuous time fractionally integrated Wishart stochastic volatility (FIWSV) process, and derive the conditional Laplace transform of the FIWSV model in order to obtain a closed form expression of moments. A two-step procedure is used, namely estimating the parameter of fractional integration via the local Whittle estimator in the first step, and estimating the remaining parameters via the generalized method of moments in the second step. Monte Carlo results for the procedure show a reasonable performance in finite samples. The empirical results for the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 indexes show that the data favor the new FIWSV process rather than the one-factor and two-factor models of the Wishart autoregressive process for the covariance structure.  相似文献

Automatic Local Smoothing for Spectral Density Estimation   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
This article uses local polynomial techniques to fit Whittle's likelihood for spectral density estimation. Asymptotic sampling properties of the proposed estimators are derived, and adaptation of the proposed estimator to the boundary effect is demonstrated. We show that the Whittle likelihood-based estimator has advantages over the least-squares based log-periodogram. The bandwidth for the Whittle likelihood-based method is chosen by a simple adjustment of a bandwidth selector proposed in Fan & Gijbels (1995). The effectiveness of the proposed procedure is demonstrated by a few simulated and real numerical examples. Our simulation results support the asymptotic theory that the likelihood based spectral density and log-spectral density estimators are the most appealing among their peers  相似文献

In the current paper, we explore some necessary probabilistic properties for the asymptotic inference of a broad class of periodic bilinear– GARCH processes (PBLGARCH) obtained by adding to the standard periodic GARCH models one or more interaction components between the observed series and its volatility process. In these models, the parameters of conditional variance are allowed to switch periodically between different regimes. This specification lead us to obtain a new model which is able to capture the asymmetry and hence leverage effect characterized by the negativity of the correlation between returns shocks and subsequent shocks in volatility patterns for seasonal financial time series. So, the goal here is to give in first part some basic structural properties of PBLGARCH necessary for the remainder of the paper. In the second part, we study the consistency and the asymptotic normality of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) illustrated by a Monte Carlo study and applied to model the exchange rate of the Algerian Dinar against the US-dollar.  相似文献

This article introduces the Markov-Switching Multifractal Duration (MSMD) model by adapting the MSM stochastic volatility model of Calvet and Fisher (2004) to the duration setting. Although the MSMD process is exponential β-mixing as we show in the article, it is capable of generating highly persistent autocorrelation. We study, analytically and by simulation, how this feature of durations generated by the MSMD process propagates to counts and realized volatility. We employ a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of the MSMD parameters based on the Whittle approximation and establish its strong consistency and asymptotic normality for general MSMD specifications. We show that the Whittle estimation is a computationally simple and fast alternative to maximum likelihood. Finally, we compare the performance of the MSMD model with competing short- and long-memory duration models in an out-of-sample forecasting exercise based on price durations of three major foreign exchange futures contracts. The results of the comparison show that the MSMD and the Long Memory Stochastic Duration model perform similarly and are superior to the short-memory Autoregressive Conditional Duration models.  相似文献

There are many approaches in the estimation of spectral density. With regard to parametric approaches, different divergences are proposed in fitting a certain parametric family of spectral densities. Moreover, nonparametric approaches are also quite common considering the situation when we cannot specify the model of process. In this paper, we develop a local Whittle likelihood approach based on a general score function, with some special cases of which, the approach applies to more applications. This paper highlights the effective asymptotics of our general local Whittle estimator, and presents a comparison with other estimators. Additionally, for a special case, we construct the one-step ahead predictor based on the form of the score function. Subsequently, we show that it has a smaller prediction error than the classical exponentially weighted linear predictor. The provided numerical studies show some interesting features of our local Whittle estimator.  相似文献

We consider the Whittle likelihood estimation of seasonal autoregressive fractionally integrated moving‐average models in the presence of an additional measurement error and show that the spectral maximum Whittle likelihood estimator is asymptotically normal. We illustrate by simulation that ignoring measurement errors may result in incorrect inference. Hence, it is pertinent to test for the presence of measurement errors, which we do by developing a likelihood ratio (LR) test within the framework of Whittle likelihood. We derive the non‐standard asymptotic null distribution of this LR test and the limiting distribution of LR test under a sequence of local alternatives. Because in practice, we do not know the order of the seasonal autoregressive fractionally integrated moving‐average model, we consider three modifications of the LR test that takes model uncertainty into account. We study the finite sample properties of the size and the power of the LR test and its modifications. The efficacy of the proposed approach is illustrated by a real‐life example.  相似文献

In this article, the normal inverse Gaussian stochastic volatility model of Barndorff-Nielsen is extended. The resulting model has a more flexible lag structure than the original one. In addition, the second-and fourth-order moments, important properties of a volatility model, are derived. The model can be considered either as a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model with nonnormal errors or as a stochastic volatility model with an inverse Gaussian distributed conditional variance. A simulation study is made to investigate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the model. Finally, the model is applied to stock returns and exchange-rate movements. Its fit to two stylized facts and its forecasting performance is compared with two other volatility models.  相似文献

This article provides a procedure for the detection and identification of outliers in the spectral domain where the Whittle maximum likelihood estimator of the panel data model proposed by Chen [W.D. Chen, Testing for spurious regression in a panel data model with the individual number and time length growing, J. Appl. Stat. 33(88) (2006b), pp. 759–772] is implemented. We extend the approach of Chang and co-workers [I. Chang, G.C. Tiao, and C. Chen, Estimation of time series parameters in the presence of outliers, Technometrics 30 (2) (1988), pp. 193–204] to the spectral domain and through the Whittle approach we can quickly detect and identify the type of outliers. A fixed effects panel data model is used, in which the remainder disturbance is assumed to be a fractional autoregressive integrated moving-average (ARFIMA) process and the likelihood ratio criterion is obtained directly through the modified inverse Fourier transform. This saves much time, especially when the estimated model implements a huge data-set.

Through Monte Carlo experiments, the consistency of the estimator is examined by growing the individual number N and time length T, in which the long memory remainder disturbances are contaminated with two types of outliers: additive outlier and innovation outlier. From the power tests, we see that the estimators are quite successful and powerful.

In the empirical study, we apply the model on Taiwan's computer motherboard industry. Weekly data from 1 January 2000 to 31 October 2006 of nine familiar companies are used. The proposed model has a smaller mean square error and shows more distinctive aggressive properties than the raw data model does.  相似文献

The estimation of the regression function in the biased nonparametric regression model is investigated. We propose and develop a new wavelet-based methodology for this problem. In particular, an adaptive hard thresholding wavelet estimator is constructed. Under mild assumptions on the model, we prove that it enjoys powerful mean integrated squared error properties over Besov balls.  相似文献

An important empirical characteristic of financial time series is that the unconditional distribution of the returns tends to possess heavy tails. This is the motivation for the particular local kernel volatility estimator proposed in this work. Whereas least-square-deviations (LSD) estimators are strongly affected by heavy-tailed distributions, the performance of least-absolute-deviations (LAD) estimators is not. This robustness to heavy tails is evidenced by the more flexible assumptions made on the distributional moments of the observable variable. The simulation examples also highlight the superior performances of the LAD estimator when compared to the LSD estimator under heavy tails conditions. The full nonparametric model is described and the asymptotic properties of the LAD estimator are derived. Extensive Monte Carlo studies strongly suggest that the LAD estimator is asymptotically adaptive to the unknown conditional first moment. The LAD estimator is also used to estimate the volatility of the S&P500 and the BOVESPA returns.  相似文献

We propose linear and nonlinear wavelet-based hazard rate estimators where the linear estimator is equivalent to a generalized kernel estimator. An asymptotic formula for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of the nonlinear wavelet-based hazard rate estimator is provided. It is shown that the MISE formula for the nonlinear estimator is available for hazard rates which are smooth only in a piecewise sense, a feature not available for the kernel estimators.  相似文献

We consider a sieve bootstrap procedure to quantify the estimation uncertainty of long-memory parameters in stationary functional time series. We use a semiparametric local Whittle estimator to estimate the long-memory parameter. In the local Whittle estimator, discrete Fourier transform and periodogram are constructed from the first set of principal component scores via a functional principal component analysis. The sieve bootstrap procedure uses a general vector autoregressive representation of the estimated principal component scores. It generates bootstrap replicates that adequately mimic the dependence structure of the underlying stationary process. We first compute the estimated first set of principal component scores for each bootstrap replicate and then apply the semiparametric local Whittle estimator to estimate the memory parameter. By taking quantiles of the estimated memory parameters from these bootstrap replicates, we can nonparametrically construct confidence intervals of the long-memory parameter. As measured by coverage probability differences between the empirical and nominal coverage probabilities at three levels of significance, we demonstrate the advantage of using the sieve bootstrap compared to the asymptotic confidence intervals based on normality.

Abstract.  This paper proposes a new wavelet-based method for deconvolving a density. The estimator combines the ideas of non-linear wavelet thresholding with periodized Meyer wavelets and estimation by information projection. It is guaranteed to be in the class of density functions, in particular it is positive everywhere by construction. The asymptotic optimality of the estimator is established in terms of the rate of convergence of the Kullback–Leibler discrepancy over Besov classes. Finite sample properties are investigated in detail, and show the excellent empirical performance of the estimator, compared with other recently introduced estimators.  相似文献

We analyze by simulation the properties of two time domain and two frequency domain estimators for low-order autoregressive fractionally integrated moving-average Gaussian models, ARFIMA (p,d,q). The estimators considered are the exact maximum likelihood for demeaned data (EML) the associated modified profile likelihood (MPL) and the Whittle estimator with (WLT) and without tapered data (WL). Length of the series is 100. The estimators are compared in terms of pile-up effect, mean square error, bias, and empirical confidence level. The tapered version of the Whittle likelihood turns out to be a reliable estimator for ARMA and ARFIMA models. Its small losses in performance in case of ‘well-behaved’ models are compensated sufficiently in more ‘difficult’ models. The modified profile likelihood is an alternative to the WLT but is computationally more demanding. It is either equivalent to the EML or more favorable than the EML. For fractionally integrated models, particularly, it dominates clearly the EML. The WL has serious deficiencies for large ranges of parameters, and so cannot be recommended in general. The EML, on the other hand, should only be used with care for fractionally integrated models due to its potential large negative bias of the fractional integration parameter. In general, one should proceed with caution for ARMA(1,1) models with almost canceling roots, and, in particular, in case of the EML and the MPL for inference in the vicinity of a moving-average root of +1.  相似文献

Abstract

In this paper, using estimating function approach, a new optimal volatility estimator is introduced and based on the recursive form of the estimator a data-driven generalized EWMA model for value at risk (VaR) forecast is proposed. An appropriate data-driven model for volatility is identified by the relationship between absolute deviation and standard deviation for symmetric distributions with finite variance. It is shown that the asymptotic variance of the proposed volatility estimator is smaller than that of conventional estimators and is more appropriate for financial data with larger kurtosis. For IBM, Microsoft, Apple stocks and SP 500 index the proposed method is used to identify the model, estimate the volatility, and obtain minimum mean square error(MMSE) forecasts of VaR.  相似文献

The semiparametric estimators of time varying long memory parameter are investigated for locally stationary long memory processes. The GPH estimator and the local Whittle estimator are considered. Under some mild regularity assumptions, the weak consistency and the asymptotic normality of the estimators are obtained. The finite sample performance of the estimators is discussed through a small simulation study.  相似文献

Abstract

In this article, we consider non parametric range-based estimation procedure for diffusion processes and propose a instantaneous volatility estimator. Under some weak conditions, we certify that the proposed estimator has convergence in probability. Adding some necessary conditions, we prove a central limit theorem. By inference, we reach a conclusion that, with high frequency data in hand, the proposed estimator is more precise than those pure realized instantaneous volatility ones. Numerical simulation illustrates the finite sample properties of the proposed estimator.  相似文献

We develop the empirical likelihood approach for a class of vector‐valued, not necessarily Gaussian, stationary processes with unknown parameters. In time series analysis, it is known that the Whittle likelihood is one of the most fundamental tools with which to obtain a good estimator of unknown parameters, and that the score functions are asymptotically normal. Motivated by the Whittle likelihood, we apply the empirical likelihood approach to its derivative with respect to unknown parameters. We also consider the empirical likelihood approach to minimum contrast estimation based on a spectral disparity measure, and apply the approach to the derivative of the spectral disparity. This paper provides rigorous proofs on the convergence of our two empirical likelihood ratio statistics to sums of gamma distributions. Because the fitted spectral model may be different from the true spectral structure, the results enable us to construct confidence regions for various important time series parameters without assuming specified spectral structures and the Gaussianity of the process.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

In the class of stochastic volatility (SV) models, leverage effects are typically specified through the direct correlation between the innovations in both returns and volatility, resulting in the dynamic leverage (DL) model. Recently, two asymmetric SV models based on threshold effects have been proposed in the literature. As such models consider only the sign of the previous return and neglect its magnitude, this paper proposes a dynamic asymmetric leverage (DAL) model that accommodates the direct correlation as well as the sign and magnitude of the threshold effects. A special case of the DAL model with zero direct correlation between the innovations is the asymmetric leverage (AL) model. The dynamic asymmetric leverage models are estimated by the Monte Carlo likelihood (MCL) method. Monte Carlo experiments are presented to examine the finite sample properties of the estimator. For a sample size of T = 2000 with 500 replications, the sample means, standard deviations, and root mean squared errors of the MCL estimators indicate only a small finite sample bias. The empirical estimates for S&;P 500 and TOPIX financial returns, and USD/AUD and YEN/USD exchange rates, indicate that the DAL class, including the DL and AL models, is generally superior to threshold SV models with respect to AIC and BIC, with AL typically providing the best fit to the data.  相似文献
