Abstract:
We study the tail probability of the stationary distribution of nonparametric non- linear autoregressive functional conditional heteroscedastic (NARFCH) model with heavy- tailed innovations.Our result shows that the tail of the stationary marginal distribution of an NARFCH series is heavily dependent on its conditional variance.When the innovations are heavy-tailed,the tail of the stationary marginal distribution of the series will become heavier or thinner than that of its innovations.We give some specific formulas to show how the increment or decrement of tail heaviness depends on the assumption on the con- ditional variance function.Some examples are given.
