STATIONARITY OF THE SOLUTION OF Xt= AtXt1+t AND ANALYSIS OF NONGAUSSIAN DEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract. We give general and concrete conditions in terms of the coefficient (stochastic) process {At} so that the (doubly) stochastic difference equation Xt= AtXt1+t has a secondorder strictly stationary solution. It turns out that by choosing {At} and the innovation process {t} properly, a host of stationary processes with nonGaussian marginals and longrange dependence can be generated using this difference equation. Examples of such nowGaussian marginals include exponential, mixed exponential, gamma, geometric, etc. When {At} is a binary time series, the conditional leastsquares estimator of the parameters of this model is the same as those of the parameters of a GaltonWatson branching process with immigration.
