Resumen

En este artículo se introduce el modelo factorial dinámico threshold, el cual permite analizar sistemas de series temporales que presenten comportamientos no lineales del tipo umbral. Se propone un método de estimación que combina el algoritmo EM con un procedimiento de búsqueda directa utilizando los algoritmos del filtro y de suavización de Kalman. El procedimiento estima factores comunes con comportamientos que cambian de régimen de acuerdo con una variable umbral.

Palabras clave: series de tiempo no lineales, análisis factorial, modelo threshold, algoritmo EM, filtro de Kalman.


Abstract

This paper introduces a threshold dynamic factor model for the analysis of vector time series which shows non-linear behavior of threshold type. We propose an estimation procedure combining an EM algorithm with a grid search procedure by the ways of the Kalman filter and smoothing recursions. We estimate common latent threshold factors that may explain the dynamic relationships within the group of variables.

Key words: Nonlinear time series, Factor analysis, Threshold model, EM algorithm, Kalman filter.
