Recursive estimation methods for time series models usually make use of recurrences for the vector of parameters, the model error and its derivatives with respect to the parameters, plus a recurrence for the Hessian of the model error. An alternative method is proposed in the case of an autoregressive-moving average model, where the Hessian is not updated but is replaced, at each time, by the inverse of the Fisher information matrix evaluated at the current parameter. The asymptotic properties, consistency and asymptotic normality, of the new estimator are obtained. Monte Carlo experiments indicate that the estimates may converge faster to the true values of the parameters than when the Hessian is updated. The paper is illustrated by an example on forecasting the speed of wind.
This article is devoted to a new recursive estimation method for dynamic time series models, more precisely for single input single output models. In that method, the recurrence for updating the Hessian is avoided, but the recurrence for updating the estimator makes use of the Fisher information matrix. The asymptotic properties, consistency and asymptotic normality, of the new estimator are obtained under weak assumptions. Monte Carlo experiments and examples indicate that the estimates converge well, comparatively with alternative methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
