Abbreviations
- Deepness :
-
A characteristic of a process with a skewed unconditional distribution.
- Deviations :
-
Refers to a definition of the business cycle that links the cycle to transitory deviations of economic activity from a trend level.
- Fluctuations :
-
Refers to a definition of the business cycle that links the cycle to any short-run changes in economic activity.
- Level :
-
Refers to a definition of the business cycle that links the cycle to alternation between phases of expansion and recession in the level of economic activity.
- Linear :
-
Refers to a class of models for which the dependence between two random variables can be completely described by a fixed correlation parameter.
- Markov-switching models :
-
Models that assume the prevailing regime governing the conditional distribution of a variable or variables being modeled depends on an unobserved discrete Markov process.
- Nonlinear :
-
Refers to the class of models for which the dependence between two random variables has a more general functional form than a linear equation and/or can change over time.
- Nonlinear time series in macroeconomics :
-
A field of study in economics pertaining to the use of statistical analysis of data in order to make inferences about nonlinearities in the nature of aggregate phenomena in the economy.
- Nuisance parameters :
-
Parameters that are not of direct interest in a test but influence the distribution of a test statistic.
- Pivotal :
-
Refers to the invariance of the distribution of a test statistic with respect to values of parameters in the data generating process under the null hypothesis.
- Power :
-
Probability of correct rejection of a null hypothesis in repeated experiments.
- Self-exciting threshold models :
-
Models that assume the prevailing regime governing the conditional distribution of a variable or variables being modeled is observable and depends on whether realized values of the time series being modeled exceed or fall below certain “threshold” values.
- Sharpness :
-
A characteristic of a process for which the probability of a peak when increasing is different than the probability of a trough when decreasing.
- Size :
-
Probability of false rejection of a null hypothesis in repeated experiments.
- Steepness :
-
A characteristic of a process with a skewed unconditional distribution for its first differences.
- Structural change :
-
A change in the model describing a time series, with no expected reversal of the change.
- Time reversibility :
-
The ability to substitute −t and t in the equations of motion for a process without changing the process.
- Time series :
-
A collection of data corresponding to the values of a variable at different points of time.
