ELW2S {LongMemoryTS}

Two-Step Exact local Whittle estimator of fractional integration with unknown mean and time trend.

Description

ELW2S implements the two-step ELW estimator of Shimotsu (2010) that is consistent and asymptotically normal in the range from -1/2 to 2.

Usage

ELW2S(data, m, trend_order = 0, taper = c("Velasco", "HC"))

Arguments

data

data vector of length T.

m

bandwith parameter specifying the number of Fourier frequencies. used for the estimation usually floor(1+T^delta), where 0<delta<1.

trend_order

specifies the form of detrending: 0 for a constant, only, 1 for a linear trend, and so on.

taper

string from c("Velasco","HC") specifying the tapered form of the local Whittle estimator used in the first step.
