Wavelet Estimation of Time Series Regression with Long Memory Processes

This paper studies the estimation of time series regression when both regressors and disturbances have long memory. In contrast with the frequency domain estimation as in Robinson and Hidalgo (1997), we propose to estimate the same regression model with discrete wavelet transform (DWT) of the original series. Due to the approximate de-correlation property of DWT, the transformed series can be estimated using the traditional least squares techniques. We consider both the ordinary least squares and feasible generalized least squares estimator. Finite sample Monte Carlo simulation study is performed to examine the relative efficiency of the wavelet estimation.Discrete Wavelet Transform

Wavelet analysis of the multivariate fractional Brownian motion

The work developed in the paper concerns the multivariate fractional Brownian motion (mfBm) viewed through the lens of the wavelet transform. After recalling some basic properties on the mfBm, we calculate the correlation structure of its wavelet transform. We particularly study the asymptotic behavior of the correlation, showing that if the analyzing wavelet has a sufficient number of null first order moments, the decomposition eliminates any possible long-range (inter)dependence. The cross-spectral density is also considered in a second part. Its existence is proved and its evaluation is performed using a von Bahr-Essen like representation of the function \sign(t) |t|^\alpha. The behavior of the cross-spectral density of the wavelet field at the zero frequency is also developed and confirms the results provided by the asymptotic analysis of the correlation

Locally stationary long memory estimation

There exists a wide literature on modelling strongly dependent time series using a longmemory parameter d, including more recent work on semiparametric wavelet estimation. As a generalization of these latter approaches, in this work we allow the long-memory parameter d to be varying over time. We embed our approach into the framework of locally stationary processes. We show weak consistency and a central limit theorem for our log-regression wavelet estimator of the time-dependent d in a Gaussian context. Both simulations and a real data example complete our work on providing a fairly general approach

A Review of Fault Diagnosing Methods in Power Transmission Systems

Transient stability is important in power systems. Disturbances like faults need to be segregated to restore transient stability. A comprehensive review of fault diagnosing methods in the power transmission system is presented in this paper. Typically, voltage and current samples are deployed for analysis. Three tasks/topics; fault detection, classification, and location are presented separately to convey a more logical and comprehensive understanding of the concepts. Feature extractions, transformations with dimensionality reduction methods are discussed. Fault classification and location techniques largely use artificial intelligence (AI) and signal processing methods. After the discussion of overall methods and concepts, advancements and future aspects are discussed. Generalized strengths and weaknesses of different AI and machine learning-based algorithms are assessed. A comparison of different fault detection, classification, and location methods is also presented considering features, inputs, complexity, system used and results. This paper may serve as a guideline for the researchers to understand different methods and techniques in this field

Large scale reduction principle and application to hypothesis testing

Consider a non--linear function $G(X_t)$ where $X_t$ is a stationary Gaussian sequence with long--range dependence. The usual reduction principle states that the partial sums of $G(X_t)$ behave asymptotically like the partial sums of the first term in the expansion of $G$ in Hermite polynomials. In the context of the wavelet estimation of the long--range dependence parameter, one replaces the partial sums of $G(X_t)$ by the wavelet scalogram, namely the partial sum of squares of the wavelet coefficients. Is there a reduction principle in the wavelet setting, namely is the asymptotic behavior of the scalogram for $G(X_t)$ the same as that for the first term in the expansion of $G$ in Hermite polynomial? The answer is negative in general. This paper provides a minimal growth condition on the scales of the wavelet coefficients which ensures that the reduction principle also holds for the scalogram. The results are applied to testing the hypothesis that the long-range dependence parameter takes a specific value
