The bootstrap replications are obtained via a SSA decomposition obtained using rescaled trajectories (RT-SSA), a procedure that is particularly useful in the analysis of time series that exhibit nonlinear, non-stationary and intermittent or transient behaviour. The theoretical validity of the RT-SSA bootstrap when used to approximate the sampling properties of a general class of statistics is established under regularity conditions that encompass a very broad range of data generating processes. A smeared and a boosted version of the RT-SSA bootstrap are also presented. Practical implementation of the bootstrap is considered and the results are illustrated using stationary, non-stationary and irregular time series examples.</p>","PeriodicalId":49973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Time Series Analysis","volume":"46 1","pages":"81-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jtsa.12759","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141549046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The asymmetry in the dynamics of volatilities is also considered as our model adopts a threshold structure.
