  2. Synthesis White noise White noise 1 output input Random walk 1/(1 – z) White noise output input First order autoregressive White noise 1/(1 – bz) input output

  3. Simulated Random walk • Eviews, sample 1 1000, gen wn = nrnd • EViews, sample 1 1, gen rw = wn • Sample 2 1000, gen rw = rw(-1) + wn

  4. Simulated First Order Autoregressive Process • Eviews, sample 1 1000, gen wn = nrnd • EViews, sample 1 1, gen arone = wn • Sample 2 1000, gen arone = b*arone(-1) + wn

  5. Systematics • b =1, random walk • b = 0.9 • b = 0.5 • b = 0.1 • b = 0, white noise

  6. Arone(t) = 0.9*arone(t-1) = wn(t)

  7. Arone(t) = 0.5*arone(t-1) + wn(t)

  8. Arone(t) = 0.1*arone(t-1) + wn(t)

  15. Model • Ln S&P500(t) = a + b*t + e(t) • time series = linear trend + error

  16. Dependent Variable: LNSP500 Method: Least Squares Sample(adjusted): 1970:01 2003:02 Included observations: 398 after adjusting endpoints Variable Coefficient Std. Error t-Statistic Prob.

  17. Time Series Components Model • Time series = trend + cycle + seasonal + error • two components, trend and seasonal, are time dependent and are called non-stationary

  18. Synthesis • The Box-Jenkins approach is to start with the simplest building block to a time series, white noise and build from there, or synthesize. • Non-stationary components such as trend and seasonal are removed by differencing

  19. First Difference • Lnsp500(t) - lnsp500(t-1) = dlnsp500(t)

  20. Time series • A sequence of values indexed by time

  21. Stationary time series • A sequence of values indexed by time where, for example, the first half of the time series is indistinguishable from the last half

  22. Stochastic Stationary Time Series • A sequence of random values, indexed by time, where the time series is not time dependent

  23. Summary of Concepts • Analysis and Synthesis • Stationary and Evolutionary • Deterministic and Stochastic • Time Series Components Model

  24. White Noise Synthesis • Eviews: New Workfile • undated 1 1000 • Genr wn = nrnd • 1000 observations N(0,1) • Index them by time in the order they were drawn from the random number generator

  25. Synthesis • Random Walk • RW(t) -RW(t-1) = WN(t) = dRW(t) • or RW(t) = RW (t-1) + WN(t) • lag by one: RW(t-1) = RW(t-2) + WN(t-1) • substitute: RW(t) = RW(t-2) + WN(t) + WN(t-1) • continue with lagging and substitutingRW(t) = WN(t) + WN (t-1) + WN (t-2) + ...

  28. Analysis (Decomposition) • Lesson one: plot the time series

  29. Model One: Random Walks • we can characterize the logarithm of total returns to the Standard and Poors 500 as trend plus a random walk. • Ln S&P 500(t) = trend + random walk = a + b*t + RW(t)

  30. 9 8 7 6 5 4 0 100 200 300 400 500 Trace of ln S&P 500(t) Logarithm of Total Returns to Standard & Poors 500 LNSP500 TIME

  31. Analysis(Decomposition) • Lesson one: Plot the time series • Lesson two: Use logarithmic transformation to linearize

  32. Ln S&P 500(t) = trend + RW(t) • Trend is an evolutionary process, i.e. depends on time explicitly, a + b*t, rather than being a stationary process, i. e. independent of time • A random walk is also an evolutionary process, as we will see, and hence is not stationary

  33. Model One: Random Walks • This model of the Standard and Poors 500 is an approximation. As we will see, a random walk could wander off, upward or downward, without limit. • Certainly we do not expect the Standard and Poors to move to zero or into negative territory. So its lower bound is zero, and its model is an approximation.
