Title: "Generalised Long Memory Time Series and Applications: An Overview"

Abstract: Analysis of long memory time series became very popular among the theoretical and applied researchers in the last 2-3 decades due to its flexibility in many applications in almost every field. In this paper, a particular attention has been paid to the development of Generalised Long Memory time series generated by Gegenbauer polynomials and Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) models. Several estimation methods will be discussed with applications in various fields will be presented. A multivariate or vector extension to GARMA family (ie. Vector GARMA or VEGARMA) will be introduced along with the relevant theoretical properties and applications. 

Keywords: Time Series, Long memory, Generalised long memory, Vector models, Hybrid, Forecasting.

*Joint work with David Allen, Richard Hunt, and Adel Gadhi
