Influence asymptotique de la correction par la moyenne sur l'estimation d'un modèle AR(1) périodique

This Note studies asymptotic influence of mean-correction on the parameter least squares estimation for a periodic AR(1) model. Unlike the stationary ARMA case, we show that fitting a periodic ARMA model with intercepts to the observed series can provide substantial gains in terms of asymptotic accuracy for the parameter least squares estimators compared with fitting a periodic ARMA model without intercepts to the mean-corrected series.
