Masanobu arrived at Waseda from Osaka some 20 years ago and rapidly developed a powerful team of students (in total 19 theses defended) and researchers, as well as an impressive network of international collaborations. Thanks to him and the countless international conferences and symposiums he tirelessly organized all over Japan, numerous statisticians from all continents enjoyed his warm hospitality, established fruitful collaborative contacts with his team, and discovered the refinements of Japanese lifestyle and culture. Statistical inference for stochastic processes and time series is a red thread running through Masanobu’s entire research career. This does not mean, however, that his contributions are narrowly concentrated on one single subject! Quite on the contrary, his scientific interests are embracing an exceptionally wide spectrum of mathematical and applied statistics topics. While it is not possible here to do justice to all of his contributions, let us mention higher-order asymptotics, a notoriously difficult subject where he can be considered to be a worldwide expert, spectral methods, local asymptotic normality and Le Cam’s asymptotic theory of statistical experiments, Edgeworth expansions in stationary processes, estimating functions, discriminant analysis and clustering, empirical likelihood methods, long-memory processes, heavy tails, volatility models, ... not to forget economic and financial applications, risk analysis, and portfolio theory – all in the general framework of serially dependent observations. That activity has resulted in over 150 articles published in internationally acclaimed journals including the Annals of Statistics, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Biometrika, the Journal of Econometrics, the Journal of Time Series Analysis, Econometric Theory, the Journal of Multivariate Analysis, among many others, and no less than seven books. It is an honor for us to guest-edit this special issue of the Journal of Time Series Analysis as a tribute to Masanobu’s scientific achievement. This issue contains 12 invited papers, all lying at the frontier in time series analysis research, by econometricians and statisticians. All papers were refereed as per the standards of the journal. Bhattacharjee, Chakraborty and Koul discuss the estimation of the regression parameters in a high-dimensional errors in variables linear regression model, where the measurement errors in the covariates are assumed to form a stationary short-memory moving average process having known Laplace stationary distribution and the regression errors are assumed to be independent nonidentically distributed.

The proposed method is based on the jumps, that is, the increments, in the heights of the dendrogram when a hierarchical clustering is applied to the data. We use autoregressive sieve bootstrap to obtain a reference distribution of the test statistics and propose an iterative procedure to find the number of clusters.

These missing observations can happen for several reasons, depending on the mechanisms that record the data or external conditions that force the missing observations. In this article, we first focus on the question if we can estimate the mean of a stationary time series when data are not equally spaced. We show that any unevenly spaced sample can be used to estimate the mean of an underlying stationary linear time series. Specifically, we do not impose any restrictions on sampling structure and times, as long as they are independent of the underlying time series. We provide an expression for the sample mean estimator and we establish its asymptotic properties and the central limit theorem. Subsequently we studentize estimation which allows to build confidence intervals for the mean.

A rejection of symmetry indicates that the use of an exact factor model is questionable.

The estimation process is built on a kernel-based objective function with a constant bandwidth (tuning parameter) that is independent of sample size and can be adjusted to maximize efficiency. The asymptotic distribution of the resultant estimator is established under suitable conditions, and the convergence rate is demonstrated to be the same as that in nonlinear mean regression. To numerically estimate the kernel mode-based regression, we develop a modified modal-expectation-maximization algorithm in conjunction with Taylor expansion. A robust Wald-type test statistic derived from the resulting estimator is also provided, along with its asymptotic distribution for the null and alternative hypotheses. The local robustness of the proposed estimation procedure is studied using influence function analysis, and the good finite sample performance of the newly suggested model is verified through Monte Carlo simulations.
