This paper considers a general model specification test for nonlinear multivariate cointegrating regressions where the regressor consists of a univariate integrated time series and a vector of stationary time series. The regressors and the errors are generated from the same innovations, so that...

In this paper, we consider some identification, estimation and specification problems in a class of semiparametric time series models. Existing studies for the stationary time series case have been reviewed and discussed. We also consider the case where new studies for the integrated...

Short-term load forecasting is an essential instrument in power system planning, operation and control. Many operating decisions are based on load forecasts, such as dispatch scheduling of generating capacity, reliability analysis, and maintenance planning for the generators. Overestimation of...

We propose a test for model specification of a parametric diffusion process based on a kernel estimation of the transitional density of the process. The empirical likelihood is used to formulate a statistic, for each kernel smoothing bandwidth, which is effectively a Studentized L2-distance...

Long-term electricity demand forecasting plays an important role in planning for future generation facilities and transmission augmentation. In a long term context, planners must adopt a probabilistic view of potential peak demand levels, therefore density forecasts (providing estimates of the...

In this paper, we consider some identification, estimation and specification problems in a class of semi-linear time series models. Existing studies for the stationary time series case have been reviewed and discussed. We also establish some new results for the integrated time series case. In...
