Asymptotic Theory for M-Estimates in Unstable AR(p) Processes with Infinite Variance Innovations

Maryam Sohrabi, Mahmoud Zarepour

英文摘要：

In this paper, we present the asymptotic distribution of M-estimators for parameters in non-stationary AR(p) processes. The innovations are assumed to be in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index $0<α\le2$. In particular, when the model involves repeated unit roots or conjugate complex unit roots, M-estimators have a higher asymptotic rate of convergence compared to the least square estimators and the asymptotic results can be written as Itô stochastic integrals.

Asymptotic theory of least squares estimators for nearly unstable processes under strong dependence

This paper considers the effect of least squares procedures for nearly unstable linear time series with strongly dependent innovations. Under a general framework and appropriate scaling, it is shown that ordinary least squares procedures converge to functionals of fractional Ornstein--Uhlenbeck processes. We use fractional integrated noise as an example to illustrate the important ideas. In this case, the functionals bear only formal analogy to those in the classical framework with uncorrelated innovations, with Wiener processes being replaced by fractional Brownian motions. It is also shown t…

Empirical likelihood-based portmanteau tests for autoregressive moving average models with possible infinite variance innovation

It is an important task in the literature to check whether a fitted autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model is adequate, while the currently used tests may suffer from the size distortion problem when the underlying autoregressive models have low persistence. To fill this gap, this paper proposes two empirical likelihood-based portmanteau tests. The first one is naive but can serve as a benchmark, and the second is for the case with infinite variance innovations. The asymptotic distributions under the null hypothesis are derived under mild moment conditions, and their usefulness is demonstr…

Kernel entropy estimation for long memory linear processes with infinite variance

Let $X=\{X_n: n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ be a long memory linear process with innovations in the domain of attraction of an $α$-stable law $(0<α<2)$. Assume that the linear process $X$ has a bounded probability density function $f(x)$. Then, under certain conditions, we consider the estimation of the quadratic functional $\int_{\mathbb{R}} f^2(x) \,dx$ by using the kernel estimator \[ T_n(h_n)=\frac{2}{n(n-1)h_n}\sum_{1\leq j<i\leq n}K\left(\frac{X_i-X_j}{h_n}\right). \] The simulation study for long memory linear processes with symmetric $α$-stable innovations is also given.

A Note on Bootstrapping M-estimates from Unstable AR(2) Process with Infinite Variance Innovations

The limiting distribution for M-estimates in a non-stationary autoregressive model with heavy-tailed error is computationally intractable. To make inferences based on the M-estimates, the bootstrap procedure can be used to approximate the sampling distribution. In this paper, we show that the bootstrap scheme with $m=o(n)$ resampling sample size when $m/n \to 0$ is approximately valid in a multiple unit roots time series with innovations in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index $0<α\leq2$.

Stable limits of martingale transforms with application to the estimation of GARCH parameters

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the Gaussian quasi maximum likelihood estimator of a stationary GARCH process with heavy-tailed innovations. This means that the innovations are regularly varying with index $α\in(2,4)$. Then, in particular, the marginal distribution of the GARCH process has infinite fourth moment and standard asymptotic theory with normal limits and $\sqrt{n}$-rates breaks down. This was recently observed by Hall and Yao [Econometrica 71 (2003) 285--317]. It is the aim of this paper to indicate that the limit theory for the parameter estimators in the heavy-ta…

Estimating accuracy of the MCMC variance estimator: a central limit theorem for batch means estimators

The batch means estimator of the MCMC variance is a simple and effective measure of accuracy for MCMC based ergodic averages. Under various regularity conditions, the estimator has been shown to be consistent for the true variance. However, the estimator can be unstable in practice as it depends directly on the raw MCMC output. A measure of accuracy of the batch means estimator itself, ideally in the form of a confidence interval, is therefore desirable. The asymptotic variance of the batch means estimator is known; however, without any knowledge of asymptotic distribution, asymptotic variance…

Efficiency and influence function of estimators for ARCH models

This paper proposes a closed-form optimal estimator based on the theory of estimating functions for a class of linear ARCH models. The estimating function (EF) estimator has the advantage over the widely used maximum likelihood (ML) and quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimators that (i) it can be easily implemented, (ii) it does not depend on a distributional assumption for the innovation, and (iii) it does not require the use of any numerical optimization procedures or the choice of initial values of the conditional variance equation. In the case of normality, the asymptotic distribution of t…

Developments in Maximum Likelihood Unit Root Tests

The exact maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) provides a test statistic for the unit root test that is more powerful \citep[p. 577]{Fuller96} than the usual least squares approach. In this paper a new derivation is given for the asymptotic distribution of this test statistic that is simpler and more direct than the previous method. The response surface regression method is used to obtain a fast algorithm that computes accurate finite-sample critical values. This algorithm is available in the R package {\tt mleur} that is available on CRAN. The empirical power of the new test is shown to be much …

The Shrinkage Variance Hotelling $T^2$ Test for Genomic Profiling Studies

Designed gene expression micro-array experiments, consisting of several treatment levels with a number of replicates per level, are analyzed by applying simple tests for group differences at the per gene level. The gene level statistics are sorted and a criterion for selecting important genes which takes into account multiplicity is applied. A caveat arises in that true signals (genes truly over or under expressed) are "competing" with fairly large type I error signals. False positives near the top of a sorted list can occur when genes having very small fold-change are compensated by small eno…

Lag length identification for VAR models with non-constant variance

The identification of the lag length for vector autoregressive models by mean of Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Partial Autoregressive and Correlation Matrices (PAM and PCM hereafter) is studied in the framework of processes with time varying variance. It is highlighted that the use of the standard tools are not justified in such a case. As a consequence we propose an adaptive AIC which is robust to the presence of unconditional heteroscedasticity. Corrected confidence bounds are proposed for the usual PAM and PCM obtained from the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation. The volatility s…

Variance-based sensitivity analysis for weighting estimators result in more informative bounds

Weighting methods are popular tools for estimating causal effects; assessing their robustness under unobserved confounding is important in practice. In the following paper, we introduce a new set of sensitivity models called "variance-based sensitivity models". Variance-based sensitivity models characterize the bias from omitting a confounder by bounding the distributional differences that arise in the weights from omitting a confounder, with several notable innovations over existing approaches. First, the variance-based sensitivity models can be parameterized with respect to a simple $R^2$ pa…

Corrected portmanteau tests for VAR models with time-varying variance

The problem of test of fit for Vector AutoRegressive (VAR) processes with unconditionally heteroscedastic errors is studied. The volatility structure is deterministic but time-varying and allows for changes that are commonly observed in economic or financial multivariate series. Our analysis is based on the residual autocovariances and autocorrelations obtained from Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Generalized Least Squares (GLS)and Adaptive Least Squares (ALS) estimation of the autoregressive parameters. The ALS approach is the GLS approach adapted to the unknown time-varying volatility that is …

A generalization of moderated statistics to data adaptive semiparametric estimation in high-dimensional biology

The widespread availability of high-dimensional biological data has made the simultaneous screening of many biological characteristics a central problem in computational biology and allied sciences. While the dimensionality of such datasets continues to grow, so too does the complexity of biomarker identification from exposure patterns in health studies measuring baseline confounders; moreover, doing so while avoiding model misspecification remains an issue only partially addressed. Efficient estimators capable of incorporating flexible, data adaptive regression techniques in estimating releva…
