mfw: multivariate Fourier Whittle estimators

Description

Computes the multivariate Fourier Whittle estimators of the long-memory parameters and the long-run covariance matrix also called fractal connectivity.

Usage

mfw(x, m)

Arguments

x

data (matrix with time in rows and variables in columns).

m

truncation number used for the estimation of the periodogram.

Value

d

estimation of the vector of long-memory parameters.

cov

estimation of the long-run covariance matrix.

Details

The choice of m determines the range of frequencies used in the computation of the periodogram, $lambda_j = 2*pi*j/N$, $j$ = 1,... , m. The optimal value depends on the spectral properties of the time series such as the presence of short range dependence. In Shimotsu (2007), m is chosen to be equal to $N^0.65$.
