Abstract
Abstract. In this paper we consider the estimation of the degree of differencing d in the fractionally integrated autoregressive moving‐average time series model ARFIMA (p, d, q). Using lag window spectral density estimators we develop a regression type estimator of d which is easy to calculate and does not require prior knowledge of p and q. Some large sample properties of the estimator are studied and the performance of the estimator for small samples is investigated using the simulation method for a range of commonly used lag windows. Some practical recommendations on the choice of lag windows and the choice of the window parameters are provided.
