Spectrum analysis can detect frequency related structures in a time series \(\{Y_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{Z}}\), but may in general be an inadequate tool if asymmetries or other nonlinear phenomena are present. This limitation is ...

The spectral distribution f(ω) of a stationary time series {Yt}t∈Z can be used to investigate whether or not periodic structures are present in {Yt}t∈Z, but f(ω) has some limitations due to its dependence on the autocovariances ...

This thesis will consider the performance of the cross-validation copula information criterion, xv-CIC, in the realm of finite samples. The theory leading to the xv-CIC will be outlined, and an analysis will be conducted ...
