This short report deals with the recent rise of programmatic time series methods. This decade has witnessed the proliferation of commercial and open source time-series tooling, which calls for an exposition of what is publicly available. In tandem with this survey, AtsPy, an open source...

We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator in the linear ARCH model. Contrary to existing literature we allow the parameters to be in the region where no stationary version of the process exists

We propose a general class of Markov-switching-ARFIMA processes in order to combine strands of long memory and Markov-switching literature. Although the coverage of this class of models is broad, we show that these models can be easily estimated with the DLV algorithm proposed. This algorithm...

The objective of this paper is to suggest a new predictive system for international trade, based on an unobserved component model. We employ the predictive system developed by Pastor and Stambaugh (2009), which is unlike other conventional predictive regression models. This paper derives an...

We propose a new long-memory model with a time-varying fractional integration parameter, evolving non-linearly according to a Logistic Smooth Transition Autoregressive (LSTAR) specification. To estimate the time-varying fractional integration parameter, we implement a method based on the wavelet...

A time series model is discussed that incorporates both permanent and transient effects. Estimation techniques are given, and the power of the likelihood ratio test is assessed. When applied to the monthly price/earnings series of the S&P 500 over the period 1871-2013, both permanent and...

The estimation and the analysis of long memory parameters have mainly focused on the analysis of long-range dependence in stock return volatility using traditional time and spectral domain estimators of long memory. The definitive ubiquity and existence of long memory in the volatility of stock...

Based on the Johansen's approach for cointegration tests, we offer critical values to test for the existence and rank of cointegration between first-order integrated variables. In this single-step procedure, the cointegrating rank is equal to the number of instances in which the test statistics...

ARFIMAX models are applied in estimating the intra-day realized volatility of the CAC40 and DAX30 indices. Volatility clustering and asymmetry characterize the logarithmic realized volatility of both indices. ARFIMAX model with time-varying conditional heteroscedasticity is the best performing...

This paper considers the time-varying asymmetric correlation between the stock and government bond price returns of the five peripheral EU countries during the EU sovereign crisis. To this end this paper proposes a new asymmetric copula using the split-normal distribution. The time-varying...
