Geweke and Porter-Hudak Estimator for ARFIMA(p,d,q)

Description

Estimate the fractional (or “memory”) parameter d in the ARFIMA(p,d,q) model by the method of Geweke and Porter-Hudak (GPH). The GPH estimator is based on the regression equation using the peridogram function as an estimate of the spectral density.

Usage

fdGPH(x, bandw.exp = 0.5)

Arguments

x univariate time series
bandw.exp the bandwidth used in the regression equation

Details

The function also provides the asymptotic standard deviation and the standard error deviation of the fractional estimator.

The bandwidth is bw = trunc(n ^ bandw.exp), where 0 < bandw.exp < 1 and n is the sample size. Default bandw.exp = 0.5.

Value

d GPH estimate
sd.as asymptotic standard deviation
sd.reg standard error deviation
