    A New Estimation Technique for AR(1) Model with Long-Tailed Symmetric Innovations
    (2017) Dener Akkaya, Ayşen; Türker Bayrak, Özlem
    In recent years, it is seen in many time series applications that innovations are non-normal. In this situation, it is known that the least squares (LS) estimators are neither efficient nor robust and maximum likelihood (ML) estimators can only be obtained numerically which might be problematic. The estimation problem is considered newly through different distributions by the use of modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimation technique which assumes the shape parameter to be known. This becomes a drawback in machine data processing where the underlying distribution cannot be determined but assumed to be a member of a broad class of distributions. Therefore, in this study, the shape parameter is assumed to be unknown and the MML technique is combined with Huber’s estimation procedure to estimate the model parameters of autoregressive (AR) models of order 1, named as adaptive modified maximum likelihood (AMML) estimation. After the derivation of the AMML estimators, their efficiency and robustness properties are discussed through simulation study and compared with both MML and LS estimators. Besides, two test statistics for significance of the model are suggested. Both criterion and efficiency robustness properties of the test statistics are discussed, and comparisons with the corresponding MML and LS test statistics are given. Finally, the estimation procedure is generalized to AR(q) models.

    Estimation of AR(1) Model Having Generalized Logistic Disturbances
    (2020) Akkaya, Ayşen; Türker Bayrak, Özlem
    Non-normality is becoming a common feature in real life applications. Using non-normal disturbances in autoregressive models induces non-linearity in the likelihood equations so that maximum likelihood estimators cannot be derived analytically. Thus, modified maximum likelihood estimation (MMLE) technique is introduced in literature to overcome this difficulty. However, this method assumes the shape parameter to be known which is not realistic in real life. Recently, for unknown shape parameter case, adaptive modified maximum likelihood estimation (AMMLE) method that combines MMLE with Huber estimation method is suggested in literature. In this study, we adopt AMMLE method to AR(1) model where the disturbances are Generalized Logistic distributed. Although Huber M-estimation is not applicable to skew distributions, the AMMLE method extends Huber type work to skew distributions. We derive the estimators and evaluate their performance in terms of effici

    Linear Contrasts in One-Way Classification Ar(1) Model With Gamma Innovations
    (Hacettepe Univ, Fac Sci, 2016) Senoglu, Birdal; Bayrak, Ozlem Turker
    In this study, the explicit estimators of the model parameters in oneway classification AR(1) model with gamma innovations are derived by using modified maximum likelihood (MML) methodology. We also propose a new test statistic for testing linear contrasts. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the MML estimators have higher efficiencies than the traditional least squares (LS) estimators and the proposed test has much better power and robustness properties than the normal theory test.

    Inference of Autoregressive Model With Stochastic Exogenous Variable Under Short-Tailed Symmetric Distributions
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2018) Bayrak, Ozlem Tuker; Akkaya, Aysen Dener
    In classical autoregressive models, it is assumed that the disturbances are normally distributed and the exogenous variable is non-stochastic. However, in practice, short-tailed symmetric disturbances occur frequently and exogenous variable is actually stochastic. In this paper, estimation of the parameters in autoregressive models with stochastic exogenous variable and non-normal disturbances both having short-tailed symmetric distribution is considered. This is the first study in this area as known to the authors. In this situation, maximum likelihood estimation technique is problematic and requires numerical solution which may have convergence problems and can cause bias. Besides, statistical properties of the estimators can not be obtained due to non-explicit functions. It is also known that least squares estimation technique yields neither efficient nor robust estimators. Therefore, modified maximum likelihood estimation technique is utilized in this study. It is shown that the estimators are highly efficient, robust to plausible alternatives having different forms of symmetric short-tailedness in the sample and explicit functions of data overcoming the necessity of numerical solution. A real life application is also given.
