The Tapering Estimation of the First-Order Autoregressive Parameters
一阶自回归参数的渐消加权估计
In the estimation of autoregressive parameters, biases from ordinary least-squares or maximum likelihood estimator are big even for moderately large sample sizes. A new tapering estimation technique is developed to reduce the bias. Monte Carlo experiments show that the tapering estimation in the time domain yields a substantial reduction in the bias when autoregressive parameters are positive and not very near unity, over a wide range of sample sizes.
