Fitting Nonstationary Time Series with Whittle Likelihood Estimator on Sieves

Preliminary results of model fitting of nonstationary time series with Whittle maximum likelihood estimator on sieves are presented. The analysis does not make assumptions regarding the parametric form of the data generating process. A comparison with model selection by the AIC method is provided by simulations. If time permits, some asymptotic results are presented along with local likelihood estimation and a biomedical time series application.
