Title: Arc Length Tests for Equality of Autocovariances
Author(s): Ferebee Tunno*+
Companies: Clemson University
Address: , Anderson, SC, 29634,
Keywords: arc length ; time series ; stationary ; autocovariance
Abstract:

This talk discusses the testing of equality of autocovariances for two independent stationary time series. Several methods have been proposed to accomplish this goal, and test statistics in the time and spectral domain have been devised and studied. In this talk, we take a new approach to the problem and assess autocovariance equality by comparing the sample arc-lengths from the two series.
