Abstract:

We study statistical inference for a class of non-stationary time series with time dependent variances. Based on a self-normalization technique, we address several inference problems, including self-normalized Central Limit Theorem, self-normalized cumulative sum test for change-point problem, long-run variance estimation through blockwise self-normalization, and self-normalization based wild bootstrap for non-stationary time series. Monte Carlo simulation studies show that the proposed self-normalization based methods outperform stationarity based alternatives. We demonstrate the proposed methodology using two real data sets: annual mean precipitation rates in Seoul during 1771-2000, and quarterly U.S. Gross National Product growth rates during 1947-2002.
