Estimating the asymptotic variance of<br />

LS estimator of V<strong>ARMA</strong> models with<br />

uncorrelated but non-independent<br />

error terms<br />

Abstract We consider the problems of estimating the asymptotic variance of the<br />

least squares (LS) and/ or quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimators of vector autoregressive<br />

moving-average (V<strong>ARMA</strong>) models under the assumption that the errors are<br />

uncorrelated but not necessarily independent. We relax the standard independence assumption<br />

to extend the range of application of the V<strong>ARMA</strong> models, and allow to cover<br />

linear representations of general nonlinear processes. We first give expressions for the<br />

derivatives of the V<strong>ARMA</strong> residuals in terms of the param<strong>et</strong>ers of the models. Secondly<br />

we give an explicit expression of the asymptotic variance of the QML/LS estimator, in<br />

terms of the VAR and MA polynomials, and of the second and fourth-order structure of<br />

the noise. We deduce a consistent estimator of the asymptotic variance of the QML/LS<br />

estimator.<br />

3.1 Introduction<br />

The class of vector autoregressive moving-average (V<strong>ARMA</strong>) models and the subclass<br />

of vector autoregressive (VAR) models are used in time series analysis and econom<strong>et</strong>rics<br />

to <strong>des</strong>cribe not only the properties of the individual time series but also the
