Nonparametric regression techniques provide an e ective way of identifying and examiningstructure in regression data The standard approaches to nonparametric regression suchas local polynomial and smoothing spline estimators are sensitive to unusual observations and alternatives designed to be...

The least squares linear regression estimator is well-known to be highly sensitive tounusual observations in the data, and as a result many more robust estimators havebeen proposed as alternatives. One of the earliest proposals was least-sum of absolutedeviations (LAD) regression, where the...

In this paper, we discuss two distinct multivariate time series models that extend the univariate ARFIMA model. We describe algorithms for computing the covariances of each model, for computing the quadratic form and approximating the determinant for maximum likelihood estimation, and for...

We propose a new semiparametric estimator of the degree of persistence in volatility forlong memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) models. The estimator uses the periodogram ofthe log squared returns in a local Whittle criterion which explicitly accounts for the noise term in the LMSV model....

We propose a direct and convenient reduced-bias estimator of predictive regression coefficients, assuming that the regressors are Gaussian first-order autoregressive with errors that are correlated with the error series of the dependent variable. For the single-regressormodel, Stambaugh (1999)...

We consider semi parametric estimation of the long-memory parameter of a stationaryprocess in the presence of an additive nonparametric mean function. We use a semi parametric Whittle type estimator, applied to the tapered, differenced series. Since the mean function is not necessarily...

For long-memory time series, we show that the Toeplitz system sect;n(f)x = b can be solved inO(n log5=2 n) operations using a well-known version of the preconditioned conjugate gradient method, where sect;n(f) is the npound;n covariance matrix, f is the spectral density and b is a known vector....

We consider a common components model for multivariate fractional cointegration, in which the s cedil; 1 components have different memory parameters. The cointegrating rank is allowed to exceed 1. The true cointegrating vectors can be decomposed into orthogonal fractional cointegrating subspaces...

We establish sufficient conditions on durations that are stationary with finite variance and memory parameter d 2 [0; 1=2) to ensure that the corresponding counting process N(t) satisfies VarN(t) raquo; Ct2d+1 (C gt; 0) as t ! 1, with the same memory parameter d 2 [0; 1=2) that was assumed for the...
