Long memory in economics : discussion and comments
Kernel functions of stable, self-similar mixed moving averages are known to be related to nonsingular flows. We identify and examine here a new functional occuring in this relation and study its properties. To prove its existence, we develop a general result about semi-additive functionals related to cocycles. The functional we identify, is helpful when solving for the kernel function generated by a flow. Its presence also sheds light on the previous results on the subject.
We consider an important subclass of self-similar, non-gaussian stable processes with stationary increments known as self-similar stable mixed moving averages. As previously shown by the authors, following the seminal approach of Jan Rosiński, these processes can be related to nonsingular flows through their minimal representations. Different types of flows give rise to different classes of self-similar mixed moving averages, and to corresponding general decompositions of these processes. Self-similar...
Multifractional Processes with Random Exponent (MPRE) are obtained by replacing the Hurst parameter of Fractional Brownian Motion (FBM) with a stochastic process. This process need not be independent of the white noise generating the FBM. MPREs can be conveniently represented as random wavelet series. We will use this type of representation to study their Hölder regularity and their self-similarity.
