  • 演講摘要 : We consider the modeling of a time series described by a linear regression component whose regressor sequence satisfies the generalized asymptotic sample second moment stationarity conditions of Grenander (1954). The associated disturbance process is only assumed to have sample second moments that converge with increasing series length, perhaps after a differencing operation. The model’s regression component, which can be stochastic, is taken to be underspecified, due perhaps to simplifications, approximations, or parsimony. Also, the ARMA or ARIMA model used for the disturbances need not be correct. Both Ordinary Least Squares and Generalized Least Squares estimates of the mean function are considered. An optimality property of GLS relative to OLS is obtained for one-step-ahead forecasting. Asymptotic bias characteristics of the regression estimates are shown to distinguish the forecasting performance. The results provide theoretical support for a procedure used by Statistics Netherlands to impute the values of late reporters in some economic surveys.
