| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 統計學系 === 87 === In this thesis, the Bootstrap technique proposed by Efron in 1979 is applied to parameter estimation and forecasting of non-normal ARMA(p,q) time series models. A simulation study is conducted where artificial time series are generated from various ARMA structures with different non-normal noise distributions. The ARMA structures considered in the simulation are AR(1), AR(2), MA(1), MA(2) and ARMA(1,1), while the non-normal noise distributions include Log-normal, Uniform, Gamma, and Exponential distributions. For each structure, the parameter values used cover important regions of the stationary and/or invertible parameter space . The conventional least-square estimators of the parameters are compared with the corresponding non-parametric Bootstrap estimator, obtained by using 500 Bootstrap repetitions for each series. Furthermore, forecasts based on these estimated model are also compared by using such criteria as MAE and MAPE .
