Consistent model selection procedure for general integer-valued time series

This paper deals with the problem of model selection for a general class of integer-valued time series. We propose a penalized criterion based on the Poisson quasi-likelihood of the model. Under certain regularity conditions, the consistency of the procedure as well as the consistency and the asymptotic normality of the Poisson quasi-likelihood estimator of the selected model are established. Simulation experiments are conducted for some classical models such as Poisson, binary INGARCH and negative binomial model with nonlinear dynamic. Also, an application to a real dataset is provided.
