Estimating memory parameter in the US inflation rate. (English) Zbl 1254.91673
Summary: We propose a new methodology using wavelet transformation to estimate the memory parameter in the US monthly inflation rate. Our results show that the series follows non-stationary process, which is not statistically different from $$I(1)$$ process.
