Loss of spectral peaks in autoregressive spectral estimation
Dan Lysne, Dag Tjøstheim · Biometrika · 1987
Autoregressive spectral analysis depends on the method used for estimating the autoregressive parameters. It is shown by an asymptotic analysis involving second-order terms that least-squares estimates should be preferred to Yule-Walker estimates, since Yule-Walker estimates may result in loss of spectral peaks and strong bias. The results are confirmed by simulations which include also Burg-type estimates.
