Qstat.reg.sb: Stationary Bootstrap for Q statistics

Description

Stationary Bootstrap procedure to generate critical values for both Box-Pierece and Ljung-Box type Q-statistics

Usage

Qstat.reg.sb(DATA1, DATA2, vecA, Psize, gamma, Bsize, sigLev)

Value

The bootstrap critical values

Arguments

DATA1

The original data set (1)

DATA2

The original data set (2)

vecA

A pair of two probabity values at which sample quantiles are estimated

Psize

The maximum number of lags

gamma

A parameter for the stationary bootstrap

Bsize

The number of repetition of bootstrap

sigLev

The statistical significance level

Author

Details

This function returns critical values for for both Box-Pierece and Ljung-Box type Q-statistics through the statioanry bootstrap proposed by Politis and Romano (1994).

Examples

data(sys.risk) 

## sample size
T = nrow(sys.risk)

## matrix for quantile regressions
## - 1st column: dependent variables
## - the rest:   regressors or predictors 
D1 = cbind(sys.risk[2:T,"Market"], sys.risk[1:(T-1),"Market"])
D2 = cbind(sys.risk[2:T,"JPM"], sys.risk[1:(T-1),"JPM"])

## probability levels
vecA = c(0.1, 0.2)

## setup for stationary bootstrap
gamma  = 1/10 ## bootstrap parameter depending on data
Bsize  = 5    ## small size, 5, for test 
sigLev = 0.05 ## significance level
