Explicit Equations For Acf In Autoregressive Processes In The Presence Of Heteroscedasticity Disturbances, Samir Safi
Explicit Equations For Acf In Autoregressive Processes In The Presence Of Heteroscedasticity Disturbances, Samir Safi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The autocorrelation function, ACF, is an important guide to the properties of a time series. Explicit equations are derived for ACF in the presence of heteroscedasticity disturbances in pth order autoregressive, AR(p), processes. Two cases are presented: (1) when the disturbance term follows the general covariance matrix, Σ , and (2) when the diagonal elements of Σ are not all identical but σi,j = 0 ∀i ≠ j.

We study the finite-sample performance of test statistics in linear regression models where the error dependence is of unknown form. With an unknown dependence structure there is traditionally a trade-off between the maximum lag over which the correlation is estimated (the bandwidth) and the amount of heterogeneity in the process. When allowing for heterogeneity, through conditional heteroskedasticity, the correlation at far lags is generally omitted and the resultant inflation of the empirical size of test statistics has long been recognized. To allow for correlation at far lags we study test statistics constructed under the possibly misspecified assumption of conditional homoskedasticity. …
