This paper deals with estimation and hypothesis testing in models allowing for trending processes that are possibly nonstationary, nonlinear, and non-Gaussian. Using semi-parametric estimators, we obtain asymptotic confidence intervals for the trend and memory parameters, and we develop joint...

We establish asymptotic normality of weighted sums of stationary linear processes with general triangular array weights and when the innovations in the linear process are martingale differences. The results are obtained under minimal conditions on the weights and as long as the process of...

This paper extends the classical local Whittle estimation procedure of the memory parameter to fractionally-integrated I(d) processes for d∈(-3/2,∞), covering stationary and nonstationary regions. We introduce the concepts of fully-extended discrete Fourier transform and periodogram. We...

This paper deals with the estimation of the long-run variance of a stationary sequence. We extend the usual Bartlett-kernel heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) estimator to deal with long memory and antipersistence. We then derive asymptotic expansions for this estimator and...

This paper deals with models allowing for trending processes and cyclical component with error processes that are possibly nonstationary, nonlinear, and non-Gaussian. Asymptotic confidence intervals for the trend, cyclical component, and memory parameters are obtained. The confidence intervals...

This paper introduces a new method for estimating variance matrices. Starting from the orthogonal decomposition of the sample variance matrix, we exploit the fact that orthogonal matrices are never ill-conditioned and therefore focus on improving the estimation of the eigenvalues. We estimate...
