RT Generic T1 Estimating the system order by subspace methods A1 García-Hiernaux, Alfredo A1 Casals, José A1 Jerez, Miguel A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística, AB This paper discusses how to determine the order of a state-space model. To do so, we start byrevising existing approaches and find in them three basic shortcomings: i) some of them have apoor performance in short samples, ii) most of them are not robust and iii) none of them canaccommodate seasonality. We tackle the first two issues by proposing new and refined criteria.The third issue is dealt with by decomposing the system into regular and seasonal sub-systems.The performance of all the procedures considered is analyzed through Monte Carlo simulations.
