RESUMO

This thesis investigates the relationship between the estimation of the fractional integration, as a measure of long memory, and the time interval between observations of a time series. In theory, the fractional integration is invariant to the frequency of observation. However, skip- sampling induces a considerable bias in the estimation, as shown by Monte Carlo simulations. The aliasing effect explains the bias and suggests formulas for it, which yield results very close to the simulated ones. On the other hand, temporal aggregation does not induce relevant bias to the long memory estimation. In addition, a combination of estimates from the same data sampled at different rates is proposed, achieving in some cases reduction of 30% in the root mean squared estimation error.
