报告题目: Burn-in selection in simulating time series

报告内容: Many time series models are defined in a recursive manner, which prohibits exact simulations. In practice, one appeals to simulating a long time series and discarding a large number of initial simulated observations, known as the burn-in.For autoregressive models where the dependence decays exponentially fast, the choice of the burn-in is not critical. However, for long-memory time series where the dependence
from the remote past is strong, it is not clear how to select the burn-in number. By combining several samplers with randomized burn-in numbers, we develop a method for exactly simulating the expectation of a statistic computed from a time series. Moreover,with some suitably chosen statistics, the exact simulation method can be applied to quantify the effect of burn-in numbers on the simulated sample. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to provide some practical guidance for burn-in selections.
