主题: Generalized Functions and robust M-Estimation with Application on Cointegrating Multiple Index Time Series Models

Abstract：

This paper studies robust M estimation for an additive single-index model for cointegrating time series where usually a non-smooth loss function with kinks are used; examples include least absolute deviation estimator, quantile estimator, and Huber's estimator. We derive asymptotic properties of M estimators while nonsmoothness of the loss functions have been a source of technical difficulties in developing a unified method for deriving the properties of the estimators. The family of generalized functions offers an elegant way of approximating nonsmooth functions by smooth functions, and thereby overcoming much of the technical difficulties. We evaluate the finite-sample performance of the proposed estimation method and theory by both simulated data and an empirical analysis of predictive regression of stock returns.
