Asymptotics for Fractional Processes

by James Davidson ...

Asymptotics for Fractional Processes develops an approach to the large-sample analysis of fractional partial-sum processes, featuring long memory increments. Long memory in a time series, equivalently called strong dependence, is usually defined to mean that the autocovariance sequence is non-summable. The processes studied have a linear moving average representation with a single parameter, ... Read more
