Abstract

Frequency domain estimation and tests of hypotheses are considered for a general multivariate distributed lag regression model. The usual vector of regression functions is replaced by a matrix of almost periodic functions, a case for which the terms appearing in the frequency domain estimators have well-defined limits. Asymptotic distributions and consistency are established for the regression coefficients and error spectra. A test statistic is proposed for the no regression hypothesis which is asymptotically central under the null hypothesis and converges to infinity under the alternative. In the multivariate case, a product of beta-distributed variables is obtained.
