Abstract

Hurwicz estimator for Autoregressive model with Generalized Error Distributed Innovations

by Sri Ranganath C. G.

The Hurwicz estimator for autoregressive model of order one driven by a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables following generalized error distribution is considered. The asymptotic behavior of the test for testing the autoregressive parameter is studied. Simulations are carried out to check the performance of the estimators. We fitted this model to BSE Index and Nifty 50 Index and the model is suitable for the data.
