Abstract:This paper extends Whittle estimation to linear processes with a general stationary ergodic martingale difference noise. We show that such estimation is valid for standard parametric time series models with smooth bounded spectral densities, e.g., ARMA models. Furthermore, we clarify the impact of the hidden dependence in the noise on such estimation. We show that although the asymptotic normality of the Whittle estimates may still hold, the presence of dependence in the noise impacts the limit variance. Hence… Show more
