Edgeworth and saddlepoint approximations in the first-order noncircular autoregression
一阶非循环自回归中的 Edgeworth 与鞍点近似
The first-order noncircular autoregressive model is considered and Edgeworth and saddlepoint approximations are given for the distribution of the least squares estimator of the autoregressive coefficient. Numerical calculations are used to compare the two approximations with the exact distribution, found by numerical integration. Both approximations are unsatisfactory when the autoregressive coefficient is moderately large and the sample size small, the saddlepoint because…
