Modeling Circular Time Series

Journal of Econometrics, to appear

(2023)

Abstract: Circular observations pose special problems for time series modeling. This article shows how the score-driven approach, developed primarily in econometrics, provides a natural solution to the difficulties and leads to a coherent and unified methodology for estimation, model selection and testing. The new methods are illustrated with hourly data on wind direction.

Keywords: Autoregression, circular data, dynamic conditional score model, von Mises distribution, wind direction
