Abstract:This paper proposes the quantile unit-log-symmetric autoregressive moving average (QULS--ARMA) model for bounded time series on the open unit interval $(0,1)$. The model extends the unit-log-symmetric family by introducing a quantile-based reparameterization and embedding autoregressive and moving-average dynamics directly in the conditional quantile, thereby overcoming limitations of mean-based approaches and providing a coherent framework for proportion data arising from ratios of dependent positive variables. The proposed specification accommodates asymmetric behavior and heavy tails through flexible log-symmetric kernels, including the normal and Student-$t$ distributions. Parameter estimation is carried out via conditional maximum likelihood, and asymptotic properties are established. Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical application to hydroelectric energy storage proportions in Brazil assess the finite-sample performance and practical advantages of the QULS--ARMA model. The results show the good performance of the proposed estimators across a range of scenarios and kernel specifications.
