Filtered log-periodogram regression estimation of the fractional differencing parameter d is considered. Asymptotic properties are derived and the effect of filtering on d is investigated. It is shown that the estimator by Geweke and Porter-Hudak (1983) can be improved significantly using a...

Prediction in time series models with a trend requires reliable estimation of the trend function at the right end of the observed series. Local polynomial smoothing is a suitable tool because boundary corrections are included implicitly. However, outliers may lead to unreliable estimates, if...

Recent results on so-called SEMIFAR models introduced by Beran (1997) are discussed. The nonparametric deterministic trend is estimated by a kernel method. The differencing and fractional differencing parameters as well as the autoregressive coefficients are estimated by an approximate maximum...

In this paper data-driven algorithms for fitting SEMIFAR models (Beran, 1999) are proposed. The algorithms combine the data-driven estimation of the nonparametric trend and maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters. For selecting the bandwidth, the proposal of Beran and Feng (1999) based...

This paper considers a class of semiparametric models being the sum of a non-parametric trend function g and a FARIMA-GARCH error process. Estimation of ĝ (v), the vth derivative of g, by local polynomial fitting is investigated. The focus is on the derivation of the asymptotic normality of ĝ...

This paper is written as a supplement to our paper Iterative plug-in algorithms for SEMIFAR models-definition, convergence and asymptotic properties (Beran and Feng, 2001). The purpose of this supplement is to report the detailed simulation results, because it is impossible to include all of...

Nonparametric regression with long-range and antipersistent errors is considered. Local polynomial smoothing is investigated for the estimation of the trend function and its derivatives. It is well known that in the presence of long memory (with a fractional differencing parameter 0 d 1/2),...
