Abstract

The issue in this paper is to measure the memory parameter in several transformations of historical data of asset returns in the UK (xt) by means of fractionally integrated techniques. We use both parametric and semiparametric methods, and the results show that the power transformations of the absolute values of the returns (i.e., |xt|θ, with θ
