Estimation de la matrice de variance asymptotique des estimateurs du QMV de modèles ARMA faibles multivariés

Abstract

In this Note, we consider the problems of estimating the asymptotic variance of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) models under the assumption that the errors are uncorrelated but not necessarily independent (i.e. weak VARMA). We first give expressions for the derivatives of the VARMA residuals in terms of the parameters of the models. Secondly we give an explicit expression of the asymptotic variance of the QMLE, in terms of the VAR and MA polynomials, and of the second- and fourth-order structure of the noise. We deduce a consistent estimator of the asymptotic variance of the QMLE.
