Fractional approaches for the distribution of innovation sequence of INAR(1) processes

In this paper, we present a fractional decomposition of the probability generating function of the innovation process of the first-order non-negative integer-valued autoregressive [INAR(1)] process to obtain the corresponding probability mass function. We also provide a comprehensive review of integer-valued time series models, based on the concept of thinning operators with geometric-type marginals. In particular, we develop two fractional …
