Poisson-Lindley minification INAR process with application to financial data

This paper introduces the Poisson-Lindley minification integer-valued autoregressive (PL-MINAR) process, a novel statistical model for analyzing count time series data. The modified negative binomial thinning and the Poisson-Lindley (PL) marginal distribution served as the foundation for the model. The proposed model was examined in terms of its basic stochastic properties, especially related to conditional stochastic measures (e.g., transition probabilities, conditional mean and variance, autocorrelation function). Through comprehensive simulations, the effectiveness of various parameter estimation techniques was validated. The PL-MINAR model's practical utility was demonstrated in analyzing the number of Bitcoin transactions and stock trades, showing its superior or comparable performance to the established INAR model. By offering a robust tool for financial time series analysis, this research holds potential for significant improvements in forecasting and understanding market dynamics.
