In this paper we present an alternative method for the spectral analysis of a strictly stationary time series {Yt}t2Z. We define a “new” spectrum as the Fourier transform of the differences between copulas of the pairs (Yt, Yt−k) and the independence copula. This object is called copula...

We propose a new sequential monitoring scheme for changes in the parameters of a multivariate time series. In contrast to procedures proposed in the literature which compare an estimator from the training sample with an estimator calculated from the remaining data, we suggest to divide the...
