The classical Chow test for structural instability requires strictly exogenous regressors and a break-point specified in advance. In this paper, we consider two generalisations, the one-step recursive Chow test (based on the sequence of studentised recursive residuals) and its supremum...

Iterated one-step Huber-skip M-estimators are considered for regression problems. Each one-step estimator is a re-weighted least squares estimators with zero/one weights determined by the initial estimator and the data. The asymptotic theory is given for iteration of such estimators using a...

This paper derives the exact distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator of a first order linear autoregression with exponential innovations. We show that even if the process is stationary, the estimator is $T$-consistent, where $T$ is the sample size. In the unit root case the estimator is...
