2 model has been the subject of study in several papers The pth-order integervalued autoregressive, IAR(p), process is defined as follows (Latour, 1998) A discrete time non-negative integer-valued stochastic process, {X t }, is said to be an IAR(p) process if it satisfies the following equation X t α 1 X t 1 + α 2 X t α p X t p + e t, (1) where (1) {e t }, designated the innovation process, is a sequence of independent and identically distributed (iid) non-negative integer-valued random variables with Ee t ] µ e, Vare t ] σ 2 e, Ee 3 t] γ e and Ee 4 t] κ e ; (2) the symbol represents the thinning operation (Steutel and Van Harn, 1979; Gauthier and Latour, 1994), defined by α i X t i X t i j1 Y i,j, i 1,,p, where {Y i,j }, designated the counting series, is a set of iid non-negative integer-valued random variables such that EY i,j ] α i, VarY i,j ] σi 2, EYi,j] 3 γ i and EYi,j] 4 κ i All the counting series are assumed independent of {e t }; (3) 0 α i < 1, i 1,,p 1, and 0 < α p < 1 Alternatively, an IAR(p) process can be represented as a p-dimensional IAR(1) process (Franke and Subba Rao, 1995) Accordingly, by using the vector thinning operation, defined as a random vector whose ith component is given by (Franke and Subba Rao, 1995) A X] i p j1 a ij X j, i 1,,p, where X X 1 X p ] T is a random vector, A is a p p matrix with entries a ij satisfying 0 a ij 1, for i,j 1,,p, and the counting series of all a ij X j, i,j 1,,p, are assumed independent, the IAR(p) process defined in (1) can be written as X t A X t 1 + W t, X t HX t, (2a) (2b) where H ], X t X t X t 1 X t p+1 ] T, W t e t 0 0 ] T, for {e t } a sequence of iid random variables, with Ee t ] µ e, Vare t ] σ 2 e, Ee t 3 ] γ e, and Ee 4 t] κ e <, and 2
3 α 1 α 2 α p 1 α p A Furthermore, the model (2a) can be expressed as X t d A k X t k + k 1 j0 Aj W t j, (3) where d stands for equality in distribution Then, equations (2) can be written as X t d j0 Aj W t j, (4a) X t d HX t, (4b) where H ], provided the spectral radius of the matrix A is less than one, that is, ρ(a) < 1 The existence and stationarity condition for the IAR(p) processes is that the roots of z p α 1 z p 1 α p 1 z α p 0 lie inside the unit circle (Du and Li, 1991) or, equivalently, that p j1 α j < 1, (Latour, 1997, 1998) Probabilistic characteristics of the IAR models, in terms of second and third-order moments and cumulants, have been obtained by Silva and Oliveira (2004, 2005) In particular, it is found that the autocovariance function, R( ), satisfies a set of Yule-Walker type difference equations, which can be written in scalar and vectorial form as R(0) V p + p α ] i1 ir(i), T R(k) R p p α α V p 0 0, i1 ir(i k), respectively, where and V p is defined by R(0) R(1) R(p) 1 R(1) R(0) R(p 1) α R p, α 1, R(p) R(p 1) R(0) α p 3
4 V p σ e 2 + µ X p i1 σ i 2, where σ e 2 Vare t ], µ X EX t ] µ e /(1 p i1 α i ), and σ i 2 is the variance of the counting series, Y j,i (j 1,,X t i ; i 1,,p), of the ith thinning operation, α i X t i Several estimation methods for the IAR(p) model have been proposed in the literature both in the time domain, namely, Yule-Walker and Conditional Least Squares (Du and Li, 1991; Latour, 1998), Generalized Method of Moments (Brännäs, 1994, 1995), Conditional Maximum Likelihood (Franke and Seligmann, 1993; Franke and Subba Rao, 1995) and in the frequency domain, the Whittle Criterion (Silva and Oliveira, 2004, 2005) Methods based on higher-order statistics (moments and cumulants) have also been considered (I Silva, 2005) The small sample properties of these estimators have been studied empirically by Monte Carlo methods (I Silva, 2005) but little is known about the asymptotic properties It must be said that these depend on higher order moments and cumulants which are very difficult to obtain Here the asymptotic distribution of the sample autocovariance for IAR(p) processes is obtained and it is shown that the Yule-Walker estimator is asymptotically normally distributed, unbiased and consistent This result generalizes the work of Park and Oh (1997), who derived the asymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator for an alternative parametrization of the Poisson IAR(1) process with binomial thinning operation In Section 21 the asymptotic properties of the sample mean and sample autocovariance matrix are obtained and in Section 22 expressions for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the Yule-Walker estimator are provided 2 Yule-Walker Estimation of the IAR(p) model Given a realization {X 1,,X } from an IAR(p) process, the Yule-Walker estimator ˆα of α is obtained by solving the following system of linear equations, ˆR(0) ˆR(1) ˆR(2) ˆR(p 1) ˆα 1 ˆR(1) ˆR(1) ˆR(0) ˆR(1) ˆR(p 2) ˆR(2) ˆR p 1 ˆα ˆr p ˆR(2) ˆR(1) ˆR(0) ˆR(p 3) ˆR(3), ˆR(p 1) ˆR(p 2) ˆR(p 3) ˆR(0) ˆα p ˆR(p) with ˆR(k) 1 k t1 (X t X)(X t+k X),k Z, and X 1 t1 X t 4
5 The estimators for µ e and σ 2 e are, respectively, ˆµ e X ( 1 p ˆα ) i1 i, ˆσ 2 e ˆV p X p i1 ˆσ2 i, where ˆV p ˆR(0) p ˆα ˆR(i) i1 i and ˆσ i 2 is an estimator of the variance of the counting series for the i-th thinning operation, α i X t i,i 1,,p The estimation of ˆσ i 2 depends on the distribution of the counting series For instance, in the case of the binomial thinning operation (when the counting series are Bernoulli distributed), ˆσ i 2 ˆα i (1 ˆα i ), for i 1,,p ow, in order to obtain the asymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator, the asymptotic properties of the sample covariance matrix are needed These properties are obtained in 21 and the asymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator follows in Asymptotic distribution of the autocovariance function In the following theorem the asymptotic multivariate normality of the sample mean, X, and of the sample autocovariance function, ˆR(k), is established The details of the proof are omitted since it follows closely Brockwell and Davis (1991, Chap 7) by considering an auxiliary function R (k) 1 t1 (X t µ X )(X t+k µ X ), k 0, obtaining its asymptotic properties and proving that ˆR( ) has the same asymptotic properties as the auxiliary function, R ( ) Theorem 1 If {X t } is an IAR(p) process with representation (4), where j0 A j <, and if R( ) is the autocovariance function of {X t }, then for any non-negative integer h, X ˆR(0) ˆR(h) µ X R(0) is A, 1 V R R(h) where V R V 11] 1 1 V 12 ] 1 (h+1) V 12 ] T 1 (h+1) V 22] (h+1) (h+1) 5

7 This remark leads to the following result (R (k) ˆR(k)) is o p (1), as Then the proposition follows from the fact that X µ X R (0) R(0) is A, 1 V R R (h) R(h) and Proposition 633 of Brockwell and Davis (1991, p 205) ote that this result is in agreement with the asymptotic distribution obtained by Park and Oh (1997) for the case of Poisson IAR(1) models with binomial thinning operation 22 Asymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator In this section, the asymptotic properties of the sample covariance matrix is used to obtain the asymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator Hence, consider the p p Toeplitz sample autocovariance matrix, ˆR p 1, and the vector of sample autocovariance function with p elements, ˆr p Let ˆV Rr vec( ˆR p 1 ) (6) ˆr p be a vector with p(p + 1) elements, where the vec operator is the columnstacking operator of a matrix (eudecker, 1969), that is, vec(a) A 1 A 2 is a pq 1 vector where A i is the i-th column of the p q matrix A A q ote that for p 1, ˆV Rr ] T ˆR(0) ˆR(1) 7
8 and for p > 1, the i-th element of ˆV Rr can be written as ˆR( (i 1) mod p (i 1)/p] ), if i p ˆV 2, Rr (i) ˆR( i mod p ), if i > p 2, where a] represent the integer part of a R Then, using the previous results it is found that ˆV Rr vec( ˆR p 1 ) is A vec(r p 1), 1 ˆr p r p Σ Rr, where Σ Rr is the p(p + 1) p(p + 1) covariance matrix of ˆV Rr, defined as in (5c), for i,j 1,,p(p + 1) ow, let Σ Rr (i,j) Cov( ˆV Rr (i), ˆV Rr (j)), (7) ] ((Rp 1 D T R(1)I p R(p)I 1 p ) T R ) ] 1 p 1 I p 2 0 p 2 p ] p p 2 R p 1, (8) where I n is the n n identity matrix, 0 n m the n m matrix of zeros and the Kronecker product (Graham, 1981) defined as follows Let A and B be p q and m n matrices, respectively Then A B is a pm qn matrix given by a 11 B a 12 B a 1q B a A B 21 B a 22 B a 2q B a p1 B a p2 B a pq B The asymptotic distribution of the Yule-Walker estimator of an IAR(p) process is given in the following theorem Theorem 2 Let {X t } be an IAR(p) process, satisfying (1), and ˆα the Yule- Walker estimator of α Then 1/2 (ˆα α) is A(0 p,d T Σ Rr D), where 0 n is a vector of n zeros, Σ Rr is given in (7) and D T is defined by (8) 8
9 PROOF The Delta method (van der Vaart, 1998) is used to demonstrate the result Thus, let ϕ be the function from D ϕ R p(p+1) into R p defined by ϕ(x) (unvec p p+1 (X)C 1 ) 1 (unvec p p+1 (X)C 2 ), where X is a vector with p(p + 1) elements, C 1 I p 0 T p, C 2 0 p 1 are a (p + 1) p matrix and a vector with p + 1 elements, respectively, 0 p is a vector of p zeros and unvec n m is the inverse of the vec operator, that is, unvec p q (X), for a vector X of pq 1 elements is defined as a p q matrix, such that unvec p q (vec(a)) A (Swami and Giannakis, 1994) ote that for ˆV Rr defined in (6), ϕ( ˆV Rr ) ˆR 1 p 1ˆr p ˆα Then, by the Delta method, ˆα is A ( α, 1 ) DT Σ Rr D, where ( ) ( ϕ ϕ D X X ˆV Rr ) T X ˆV Rr is the p(p + 1) p derivative matrix of the function ϕ, defined as follows Let f : R n R m be a vector valued function with vector variable The n m matrix derivative of f is defined as (Rao and Rao, 1998, p 225) ( ) T f f X f 1 f X 1 1 X n f m X 1 f m X n in order to meet the needs of the Jacobian matrix ote that ϕ(x) can be written as the product of two matrices, ϕ(x) M 1 1 (X)M 2 (X) Then, by using the product rule (Rao and Rao, 1998, p T, 9
