Abstract

This paper studies a class of stationary covariance models, in both the discrete- and the continuous-time domains, which possess a simple functional form γ(τ + τ0)+γ(τ − τ0)− 2γ(τ), where τ 0 is a fixed lag andγ(τ) is an intrinsically stationary variogram, and include the fractional Gaussian noise of Kolmogorov (1940) and a stochastic volatility model of Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2001), (2002) as special cases. Properties of the class, and interesting special cases with long memory, are studied. We also characterize the covariance function via the variogram.
