Abstract: | L2‐properties and estimation of purely bilinear and strictly superdiagonal time series models with periodic coefficients The authors consider the subclass of purely bilinear and strictly superdiagonal time series models with periodic coefficients. Indeed, thanks to their possible application to a wide variety of fields including economics and finance, bilinear time series models with time‐dependent coefficients have recently been the object of attention in the statistical literature. The authors give conditions ensuring the existence of a causal solution in L2, the invertibility and the existence of higher‐order moments. The problem of estimating the parameters is also investigated through an approach based on second and third empirical moments. The authors numerically illustrate their theoretical results via Monte Carlo simulations. |
