The first part of this thesis considers the residual empirical process of a nearly unstable long-memory time series. Chan and Ling [8] showed that the usual limit distribution of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistics does not hold when the characteristic polynomial of the unstable autoregressive model has a unit root. A key question of interest is what happens when this model has a near unit root, that is, when it is nearly non-stationary. In this thesis, it is established that the statistics proposed by Chan and Ling can be extended. The limit distribution is expressed as a functional of an Orenstein-Uhlenbeck process that is driven by a fractional Brownian motion. This result extends and generalizes Chan and Ling's results to a nearly non-stationary long-memory time series. / The second part of the thesis investigates the weak convergence of weighted sums of random variables that are functionals of moving aver- age processes. A non-central limit theorem is established in which the Wiener integrals with respect to the Hermite processes appear as the limit. As an application of the non-central limit theorem, we examine the asymptotic theory of least squares estimators (LSE) for a nearly unstable AR(1) model when the innovation sequences are functionals of moving average processes. It is shown that the limit distribution of the LSE appears as functionals of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by Hermite processes. / Liu, Weiwei. / Adviser: Chan Ngai Hang. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-01, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 60-67). / Electronic reproduction.
