Abstract:
|
In this study, we introduce a generalization of the zero inflated Poisson process to model time series of count data that exhibit both generalized conditional heteroskedastic volatility and cyclical behavior in the zero inflation factor. This is a generalization of the zero-inflated Poisson-GARCH model proposed by Fukang Zhu in 2012, which in turn can be considered a generalization of the Autoregressive Conditional Poisson model proposed by Andreas Heinen in 2003. While Heinen's Autoregressive Conditional Poisson model accommodates GARCH type behavior, Zhu introduces zero inflation. Our proposed model goes one step further by incorporating the flexibility to allow the zero inflation parameter to vary cyclically or be driven by an exogenous variable. A method for estimating the proposed model is introduced and its performance studied using Monte-Carlo methods.
