On multiple regression models with nonstationary correlated errors

We consider the estimation of parameters of a multiple regression model with nonstationary errors. We assume the nonstationary errors satisfy a time-dependent autoregressive process and describe a method for estimating the parameters of the regressors and the time-dependent autoregressive parameters. The parameters are rescaled as in nonparametric regression to obtain the asymptotic sampling properties of the estimators. The method is illustrated with an example taken from global temperature anomalies. Copyright Biometrika Trust 2004, Oxford University Press.
