Abstract
Since conventional cross–validation bandwidth selection methods don’t work for the case where the data considered are dependent time series, alternative bandwidth selection methods are needed. In recent years, Bayesian based global bandwidth selection methods have been proposed. Our experience shows that the use of a global bandwidth is however less suitable than using a localized bandwidth in kernel density estimation in the case where the data are dependent time series as discussed in an empirical application of this paper. Nonetheless, a difficult issue is how we can consistently estimate a localized bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a semiparametric estimation method, for which we establish a completely new asymptotic theory for the proposed semiparametric localized bandwidth estimator. Applications of the new bandwidth estimator to the kernel density estimation of Eurodollar deposit rate and the S&P 500 daily return demonstrate the effectiveness and competitiveness of the proposed semiparametric localized bandwidth.
