In this paper we give a lower bound for the rate of convergence of anyestimator of the memory parameter as a function of the degree of local smoothnessof the spectral density at zero. The lower bound allows one to evaluate andcompare different estimators by their asymptotic behavior, and to claim the rateoptimality for any estimator attaining the bound. A log-periodogram regressionestimator, analysed by Robinson (1992), is then shown to attain the lower bound,and is thus rate optimal. date: 1995-05 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00020900 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-10a schriftenreihe_order: 28 ppn_swb: 1657257134 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-209007 language: eng bibsort: GIRAITISLIRATEOPTIMA199505 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Heidelberg pages: 12 citation: Giraitis, Liudas ; Robinson, Peter M. ; Samarov, Alexander (1995) Rate Optimal Semiparametric Estimationof the Memory Parameter of the Gaussian Time Series with Long Range Dependence.
