Cross-codifference for bidimensional VAR(1) models with infinite variance.
2019
In this paper we consider the problem of a measure that allows us to describe the spatial and temporal dependence structure of multivariate time series with innovations having infinite variance. By using recent results obtained in the problem of temporal dependence structure of univariate stochastic processes, where the auto-codifference was used, we extend its idea and propose a cross-codifference measure for a general vector autoregressive model of order 1 (VAR(1)). Next, we derive an analytical results for VAR(1) model with Gaussian and sub-Gaussian innovations, that are characterized by finite and infinite variance, respectively. We emphasize that obtained expressions perfectly agree with the empirical counterparts. Moreover, we show that for the considered processes the cross-codifference simplifies to the well-established cross-covariance measure in case of Gaussian white noise. Last part of the work is devoted to the statistical estimation of VAR(1) parameters based on the empirical cross-codifference. Again, we demonstrate via Monte Carlo simulations that proposed methodology works correctly.
