Using component series from a given time series, we are able to demonstrate forecasting ability with none of the requirements of the traditional ARMA method, while strictly adhering to the definition of an autoregressive model. We also propose a new test for seasonality using coefficient of...

Data on the number of people who have committed suicide tends to be reported with a substantial time lag of around two years. We examine whether online activity measured by Google searches can help us improve estimates of the number of suicide occurrences in England before official figures are...

The fuzzy transform (F-transform), introduced by I. Perfilieva, is a powerful tool for the construction of fuzzy approximation models; it is based on generalized fuzzy partitions and it is obtained by minimizing a quadratic (L₂-norm) functional. In this paper we describe an analogous...

For more than half a century, Manfred Deistler has been contributing to the construction of the rigorous theoretical foundations of the statistical analysis of time series and more general stochastic processes. Half a century of unremitting activity is not easily summarized in a few pages. In...

We consider the problem of estimating the conditional quantile of a time series fYtg at time t given covariates Xt, where Xt can ei- ther exogenous variables or lagged variables of Yt . The conditional quantile is estimated by inverting a kernel estimate of the conditional distribution function,...

The method of moments proposed by Carrasco and Florens (2000) permits to fully exploit the information contained in the characteristic function and yields an estimator which is asymptotically as efficient as the maximum likelihood estimator. However, this estimation procedure depends on a...

The persistent nature of equity volatility is investigated by means of a multi-factor stochastic volatility model with time varying parameters. The parameters are estimated by means of a sequential matching procedure which adopts as auxiliary model a time-varying generalization of the HAR model...
