In this paper the performance of different information criteria for simultaneous model class and lag order selection is evaluated using simulation studies. We focus on the ability of the criteria to distinguish linear and nonlinear models. In the simulation studies, we consider three different...

Immer stärker basieren Unternehmensentscheidungen auf der Auswertung wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Daten. Ökonomen und Sozialwissenschaftler sehen sich daher mit immer größeren Datenmengen konfrontiert, die mit statistischen Methoden geordnet und analysiert werden müssen. Daher kommt der...

We show that small trends do not influence log-periodogram based estimators for the memory parameter in a stationary invertible long-memory process. In the case of slowly decaying trends which are easily confused with long-range dependence we show by Monte Carlo methods that the tapered...

We provide a method for distinguishing long-range dependence from deterministic trends such as structural breaks. The method is based on the comparison of standard log-periodogram regression estimation of the memory parameter with its tapered counterpart. The difference of these estimators...
