Autoregressive Model with Student’s t-Errors
摘要
This paper examines a first-order autoregressive model that incorporates student’s t-distributed errors. The estimation procedure is developed using the maximum likelihood method, with the solutions demonstrated using a simulation approach. As the estimating equations were not in a closed-form expression, we obtained the parameter estimates using the Newton–Raphson method. For a finite sample size, a parametric bootstrap procedure for the unit root test has been illustrated. To demonstrate the applications of the proposed model, a time series of quarterly GDP percentage changes are analyzed.
