We consider the problem of classifying an α-stable linear process into two categories described by two hypotheses π1 and π2. These hypotheses are specified by the “normalized power transfer functions” and under π1 and π2, respectively. In this paper, we suggest a classification statistic based on the normalized power transfer functions. We show that is a consistent classification criterion in the sense that the misclassification probabilities converge to zero as the sample size tends to infinity. When is contiguous to , we also evaluate the goodness of fit of in terms of the misclassification probabilities. Our results have potential applications in various fields, e.g., credit rating in finance, and so on. Several numerical examples will be given.
