Autoregressive Models with Time-Dependent Coefficients—A Comparison between Several Approaches
Autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) models with time-dependent (td) coefficients and marginally heteroscedastic innovations provide a natural alternative to stationary ARMA models.

description | Autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) models with time-dependent (td) coefficients and marginally heteroscedastic innovations provide a natural alternative to stationary ARMA models. Several theories have been developed in the last 25 years for parametric estimations in that context. In this paper, we focus on time-dependent autoregressive (tdAR) models and consider one of the estimation theories in that case. We also provide an alternative theory for tdAR processes that relies on a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>ρ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-mixing property. We compare these theories to the Dahlhaus theory for locally stationary processes and the Bibi and Francq theory, made essentially for cyclically time-dependent models, with our own theory. Regarding existing theories, there are differences in the basic assumptions (e.g., on derivability with respect to time or with respect to parameters) that are better seen in specific cases such as the tdAR(1) process. There are also differences in terms of asymptotics, as shown by an example. Our opinion is that the field of application can play a role in choosing one of the theories. This paper is completed by simulation results that show that the asymptotic theory can be used even for short series (less than 50 observations). |
