We consider the long memory and leverage properties of a model for the conditional variance of an observable stationary sequence, where the conditional variance is the square of an inhomogeneous linear combination of past values of the observable sequence, with square summable weights. This...

For a particular conditionally heteroscedastic nonlinear (ARCH) process for which the conditional variance of the observable sequence rt is the square of an inhomogeneous linear combination of rs, s < t, we give conditions under which, for integers 1 > 2, r' has long memory autocorrelation and normalized partial sums of ri converge to fractional...</t,>

Parametric estimation is discussed in a variety of models exhibiting longrange dependence

The aggregation procedure when a sample of length N is divided into blocks of length m = o(N), m ® ¥ and observations in each block are replaced by their sample mean, is widely used in statistical inference. Taqqu, Teverovsky and Willinger (1995), Teverovsky and Taqqu (1997) introduced an...

For linear processes, semiparametric estimation of the memory parameter, based on the log-periodogram and local Whittle estimators, has been exhaustively examined and their properties are well established. However, except for some specific cases, little is known about the estimation of the...

We consider a parametric spectral density with power-law behaviour about a fractional pole at the unknown frequency !. The case of known !, especially ! = 0, is standard in the long memory literature. When ! is unknown, asymptotic distribution theory for estimates of parameters, including the...
