  • a test for second order Stationarity of a time series based on the discrete fourier transform
    Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2011
    Co-Authors: Yogesh Dwivedi, Suhasini Subba Rao
    Abstract:

    We consider a zero mean discrete time series, and define its discrete Fourier transform at the canonical frequencies. It can be shown that the discrete Fourier transform is asymptotically uncorrelated at the canonical frequencies if and if only the time series is second order stationary. Exploiting this important property, we construct a Portmanteau type test statistic for testing Stationarity of the time series. It is shown that under the null of Stationarity, the test statistic is approximately a chi square distribution. To examine the power of the test statistic, the asymptotic distribution under the locally stationary alternative is established. It is shown to be a generalised noncentral chi-square, where the noncentrality parameter measures the deviation from Stationarity. The test is illustrated with simulations, where is it shown to have good power.

    Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2011
    Co-Authors: Yogesh Dwivedi
    Abstract:

    We consider a zero mean discrete time series, and define its discrete Fourier transform (DFT) at the canonical frequencies. It can be shown that the DFT is asymptotically uncorrelated at the canonical frequencies if and only if the time series is second-order stationary. Exploiting this important property, we construct a Portmanteau type test statistic for testing Stationarity of the time series. It is shown that under the null of Stationarity, the test statistic has approximately a chi square distribution. To examine the power of the test statistic, the asymptotic distribution under the locally stationary alternative is established. It is shown to be a generalized non-central chi square, where the non-centrality parameter measures the deviation from Stationarity. The test is illustrated with simulations, where is it shown to have good power.

  • a test for second order Stationarity of a time series based on the discrete fourier transform technical report
    arXiv: Methodology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Yogesh Dwivedi
    Abstract:

    We consider a zero mean discrete time series, and define its discrete Fourier transform at the canonical frequencies. It is well known that the discrete Fourier transform is asymptotically uncorrelated at the canonical frequencies if and if only the time series is second order stationary. Exploiting this important property, we construct a Portmanteau type test statistic for testing Stationarity of the time series. It is shown that under the null of Stationarity, the test statistic is approximately a chi square distribution. To examine the power of the test statistic, the asymptotic distribution under the locally stationary alternative is established. It is shown to be a type of noncentral chi-square, where the noncentrality parameter measures the deviation from Stationarity. The test is illustrated with simulations, where is it shown to have good power. Some real examples are also included to illustrate the test.

  • testing Stationarity with surrogates a time frequency approach
    IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 2010
    Co-Authors: Pierre Borgnat, Paul Honeine, Cedric Richard, Patrick Flandrin, Jun Xiao
    Abstract:

    An operational framework is developed for testing Stationarity relatively to an observation scale, in both stochastic and deterministic contexts. The proposed method is based on a comparison between global and local time-frequency features. The originality is to make use of a family of stationary surrogates for defining the null hypothesis of Stationarity and to base on them two different statistical tests. The first one makes use of suitably chosen distances between local and global spectra, whereas the second one is implemented as a one-class classifier, the time- frequency features extracted from the surrogates being interpreted as a learning set for Stationarity. The principle of the method and of its two variations is presented, and some results are shown on typical models of signals that can be thought of as stationary or nonstationary, depending on the observation scale used.

  • statistical hypothesis testing with time frequency surrogates to check signal Stationarity
    International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing, 2010
    Co-Authors: Cedric Richard, Hassan Amoud, Paul Honeine, Andre Ferrari, Patrick Flandrin, Pierre Borgnat
    Abstract:

    An operational framework is developed for testing Stationarity relatively to an observation scale. The proposed method makes use of a family of stationary surrogates for defining the null hypothesis of Stationarity. As a further contribution to the field, we demonstrate the strict-sense Stationarity of surrogate signals and we exploit this property to derive the asymptotic distributions of their spectrogram and power spectral density. A statistical hypothesis testing framework is then proposed to check signal Stationarity. Finally, some results are shown on a typical model of signals that can be thought of as stationary or nonstationary, depending on the observation scale used.

  • Time Consistency: Stationarity and Time Invariance
    2015
    Co-Authors: Yoram Halevy
    Abstract:

    A sequence of experiments documents static and dynamic ``preference reversals'' between sooner-smaller and later-larger rewards, when the sooner reward could be immediate. The theoretically-motivated design permits separate identification of time-consistent, stationary and time-invariant choices. At least half of the subjects are time consistent, but only three-quarters of them exhibit stationary choices. About half of subjects with time inconsistent choices have stationary preferences. These results challenge the view that present-bias preferences are the main source of time inconsistent choices.

  • Time Consistency: Stationarity and Time Invariance
    Econometrica, 2015
    Co-Authors: Yoram Halevy
    Abstract:

    A sequence of experiments documents static and dynamic "preference reversals" between sooner-smaller and later-larger rewards, when the sooner reward could be immediate. The theoretically motivated design permits separate identification of time consistent, stationary ,a ndtime invariant choices. At least half of the subjects are time consistent, but only three-quarters of them exhibit stationary choices. About half of subjects with time inconsistent choices have stationary preferences. These results chal- lenge the view that present-bias preferences are the main source of time inconsistent choices. THE PAST TWENTY YEARS have seen a surge of interest in time inconsistent preferences. Mostly, this has been motivated by psychological experiments and introspection that have suggested the existence of "present-bias": a decision maker prefers smaller immediate reward to a larger delayed reward, but when she is asked about her preferences between these two alternatives when both are equally shifted into the future, her preferences are reversed. Although there is no inconsistency per se in her answers, this behavior has been taken to suggest that when the decision maker will be asked to update her choices in the future, she will generally deviate from her ex ante plans. Our goal in the present study is to perform a dynamic preference reversal experiment. As such, one is required to extend the standard framework of pref- erences over temporal payments to a dated collection of such preferences. This extension allows us to formally define three distinct properties. Stationarity im- plies that ranking of temporal payments depends only on the time distance and payment distance between the alternatives. Time invariance assumes that the decision maker evaluates each temporal payment relative to the evaluation pe-
