  2. 2. Testing for Unit Root against LISTAR Model : Wavelet Improvement under GARCH Distortion

    Author : Yushu Li; Ghazi Shukur; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this paper we propose a Nonlinear Dickey-Fuller F test for unit root against first order Logistic Smooth Transition Autoregressive LISTAR (1) model with time as the transition variable. The Nonlinear Dickey-Fuller F test statistics is established under the null hypothesis of random walk without drift and the alternative model is a nonlinear LSTAR (1) model. READ MORE
