Quasi-maximum Likelihood Estimation of Heteroskedastic Fractional Time Series Models
Estimation in Conditionally Heteroscedastic Time Series Models
Author: Daniel Straumann
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540269789
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
In his seminal 1982 paper, Robert F. Engle described a time series model with a time-varying volatility. Engle showed that this model, which he called ARCH (autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic), is well-suited for the description of economic and financial price. Nowadays ARCH has been replaced by more general and more sophisticated models, such as GARCH (generalized autoregressive heteroscedastic). This monograph concentrates on mathematical statistical problems associated with fitting conditionally heteroscedastic time series models to data. This includes the classical statistical issues of consistency and limiting distribution of estimators. Particular attention is addressed to (quasi) maximum likelihood estimation and misspecified models, along to phenomena due to heavy-tailed innovations. The used methods are based on techniques applied to the analysis of stochastic recurrence equations. Proofs and arguments are given wherever possible in full mathematical rigour. Moreover, the theory is illustrated by examples and simulation studies.

Consistency of Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Models with Conditional Heteroskedasticity
Author: Whitney K. Newey

Book Description
Virtually all empirical studies that assume a time-varying conditional variance use a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE). If the density from which the likelihood is constructed is assumed to be Gaussian, the QMLE is known to be consistent under correct specification of both the conditional mean and conditional variance. We show that if both the assumed density and the true density are symmetric a QMLE remains consistent. If, however, either the assumed density or the true density is asymmetric, a QMLE is generally not consistent. To ensure that a QMLE is consistent under asymmetric densities, we include the conditional standard deviation as a regressor. We calculate the efficiency loss associated with the added regressor if the densities are symmetric and show that for a QMLE of the conditional variance parameters of a GARCH process there is no efficiency loss. Finally, we develop a test of consistency of a QMLE from the significance of the additional regressor.

Pseudo-variance Quasi-maximum Likelihood Estimation of Semiparametric Time Series Models
Author: Mirko Armillotta

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
We propose a novel estimation approach for a general class of semi-parametric time series models where the conditional expectation is modeled through a parametric function. The proposed class of estimators is based on a Gaussian quasi-likelihood function and it relies on the specification of a parametric pseudo-variance that can contain parametric restrictions with respect to the conditional expectation. The specification of the pseudo-variance and the parametric restrictions follow naturally in observation-driven models with bounds in the support of the observable process, such as count processes and double-bounded time series. We derive the asymptotic properties of the estimators and a validity test for the parameter restrictions. We show that the results remain valid irrespective of the correct specification of the pseudo-variance. The key advantage of the restricted estimators is that they can achieve higher efficiency compared to alternative quasi-likelihood methods that are available in the literature. Furthermore, the testing approach can be used to build specification tests for parametric time series models. We illustrate the practical use of the methodology in a simulation study and two empirical applications featuring integer-valued autoregressive processes, where assumptions on the dispersion of the thinning operator are formally tested, and autoregressions for double-bounded data with application to a realized correlation time series.

Quasi-Likelihood And Its Application
Author: Christopher C. Heyde
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387226796
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The first account in book form of all the essential features of the quasi-likelihood methodology, stressing its value as a general purpose inferential tool. The treatment is rather informal, emphasizing essential principles rather than detailed proofs, and readers are assumed to have a firm grounding in probability and statistics at the graduate level. Many examples of the use of the methods in both classical statistical and stochastic process contexts are provided.

Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation for a Class of Continuous-Time Long-Memory Processes

Book Description
Tsai and Chan (2003) has recently introduced the Continuous-time Auto-Regressive Fractionally Integrated Moving-Average (CARFIMA) models useful for studying long-memory data. We consider the estimation of the CARFIMA models with discrete-time data by maximizing the Whittle likelihood. We show that the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator is asymptotically normal and efficient. Finite-sample properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator and those of the exact maximum likelihood estimator are compared by simulations. Simulations suggest that for finite samples, the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of the Hurst parameter is less biased but more variable than the exact maximum likelihood estimator. We illustrate the method with a real application.
