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 describe a Bayesian method for detecting structural changes in a long-range dependent process. In particular, we focus on changes in the long-range dependence parameter, d, and changes in the process level, p. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are used to estimate the posterior...
