GENERALIZED INFORMATION CRITERIA IN MODEL SELECTION FOR LOCALLY STATIONARY PROCESSES

摘要

The problem of fitting a parametric model of time series with time varying parameters attracts our attention. We evaluate a goodness of time varying spectral models from an information theoretic point of view. We propose model selection criteria for locally stationary processes based on nonlinear functionals of a time varying spectral density without assuming that the true time varying spectral density belongs to the model. Also, we obtain a sufficient condition such that our information criteria coincide with Akaike's information criterion.
