Long memory is defined as a series having a slowly declining correlogram or, equivalently, an infinite spectrum at zero frequency. Fractional integrated processes have such properties but here it is pointed out that a number of other processes can also be long memory, including generalized fractionally integrated models arising from aggregation, time-changing coefficient models, and possibly nonlinear models. It seems that there are many classes of processes that deserve further study. The relevance of long memory is illustrated using absolute returns from a daily stock market index.
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.
