- Abstract
- We propose a new model for non-stationary random processes to represent time series with a time-varying spectral structure. Our SLEX model can be considered as a discrete time-dependent Cramer spectral representation. It is based on the so-called Smooth Localized complex EXponential basis functions which are orthogonal and localized in both time and frequency domains. Our model delivers a finite sample size representation of a SLEX process having a SLEX spectrum which is piecewise constant over time segments. In addition, we embed it into a sequence of models with a limit spectrum, a smoothly, in time varying "evolutionary" spectrum. Hence, we develop the SLEX model parallel to the Dahlhaus (1997, Ann. Statist., 25, 1-37) model of local stationarity, and we show that the two models are asymptotically mean square equivalent. Moreover, to define both the growing complexity of our model sequence and the regularity of the SLEX spectrum we use a wavelet expansion of the spectrum over time. Finally, we develop theory on how to estimate the spectral quantities, and we briefly discuss how to form inference based on resampling (bootstrapping) made possible by the special structure, of the SLEX model which allows for simple synthesis of non-stationary processes.
