Weighted least absolute deviations estimation for an AR(1) process with ARCH(1) errors
ARCH(1) 误差下 AR(1) 过程的加权最小绝对偏差估计
The weighted least absolute deviations estimator is studied for an AR(1) process with ARCH(1) errors εt. Unlike for the quasi maximum likelihood estimator, the estimator's, limiting distribution is shown to be normal even when E(εt4) = ∞. Furthermore, the estimator can be applied to examine the symmetry of the density of εt and to estimate the quantity E(log |α + λ½ εt|), which are of crucial importance for conducting asymptotic inference for quasi maximum likelihood…
