Phase transitions and approximations of mean squared error for state-space models with fractional differencing

Prabir Burman, Xiucai Ding, Robert H. Shumway

We study trend estimation in state-space models in which the trend has a fractional stochastic difference of order and the observation errors form a short-range-dependent sta…
