• TITLE: Long-Memory and Spurious Breaks in Ecological Experiments

  AUTHORS: Thomas R. Boucher

  KEYWORDS: BACI, Long-Memory, RIA, Short-Memory, Variance Corrections

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Statistics, Vol.7 No.5, October 11, 2017

  ABSTRACT: The impact of long-memory on the Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) design and a commonly used nonparametric alternative, Randomized Intervention Analysis (RIA), is examined. It is shown the corrections used based on short-memory processes are not adequate. Long-memory series are also known to exhibit spurious structural breaks that can be mistakenly attributed to an intervention. Two examples from the literature are used as illustrations.
