Abstract: In this paper we derive the asymptotic properties of the least squares estimator (LSE) of autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models with regime changes under the assumption that the errors are uncorrelated but not necessarily independent. Relaxing the independence assumption considerably extends the range of application of the class of ARMA models with regime changes. Conditions are given for the consistency and asymptotic normality of the LSE. A particular attention is given to the estimation of the asymptotic covariance matrix, which may be very different from that obtained in the standard framework. The theoretical results are illustrated by means of Monte Carlo experiments.


The authors study the asymptotic properties of the least squares estimator (LSE) of autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models with regime changes under the assumption that the errors are uncorrelated. The model considered is \(X_t-\sum_{i=1}^p a_i^0(\Delta t)X_{t-i} =\epsilon_t-\sum_{j=1}^q b_j^0(\Delta t)\epsilon_{t-j}\) where the innovation process \(\epsilon_t\) is a weak white noise, i. e. a stationary sequence for which \(E\epsilon_t=0\) and \(E\epsilon_t\epsilon_t=\sigma^21_{t=t'}\) and \(\Delta_t\) is a stationary ergodic observed process with values in a finite set \(S\). Conditions are given for the consistency and asymptotic normality of the LSE. The theoretical results are illustrated by means of Monte Carlo experiments.
