Gaussian Likelihood Estimation for Nearly Nonstationary AR(1) Processes
近非平稳 AR(1) 过程的高斯似然估计
An asymptotic analysis is presented for estimation in the three-parameter first-order autoregressive model, where the parameters are the mean, autoregressive coefficient and variance of the shocks. The nearly nonstationary asymptotic model is considered wherein the autoregressive coefficient tends to 1 as sample size tends to $\infty$. Three different estimators are considered: the exact Gaussian maximum likelihood estimator, the conditional maximum likelihood or least…
