Abstract

Let {X(t)} be a multivariate Gaussian stationary process with the spectral density matrix f0(ω), where θ is an unknown parameter vector. Using a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of θ, we estimate the spectral density matrix f0(ω) by f(ω). Then we derive asymptotic expansions of the distributions of functions of f(ω). Also asymptotic expansions for the distributions of functions of the eigenvalues of f(ω) are given. These results can be applied to many fundamental statistics in multivariate time series analysis. As an example, we take the reduced form of the cobweb model which is expressed as a two-dimensional vector autoregressive process of order 1 (AR(1) process) and show the asymptotic distribution of , the estimated coherency, and contribution ratio in the principal component analysis based on in the model, up to the second-order terms. Although our general formulas seem very involved, we can show that they are tractable by using REDUCE 3.
