Abstract: Hawkes Graphs have been recently introduced to grasp the branching structure of multivariate stationary Hawkes processes. However, existing procedure cannot describe the time structural changes since stationary Hawkes processes are a class of stationary processes. We consider a multivariate locally stationary Hawkes (lsHawkes) process, which is a natural extension of a previously studied univariate lsHawkes process. We first consider an approximation of the lsHawkes process as a time-varying integer-valued autoregressive (tvINAR) process. Then, we propose an estimation procedure for the time varying parameters based on local least-squares method. Finally, we propose time-varying Hawkes graphs (tvHawkes graphs) based on the estimated parameters.
