This paper analyzes the limit distribution of minimum distance (MD) estimators for nonstationary time series models that involve nonlinear parameter restrictions. A rotation for the restricted parameter space is constructed to separate the components of the MD estimator that converge at different rates. We derive regularity conditions for the restriction function that are easier to verify than the stochastic equicontinuity conditions that arise from direct estimation of the restricted parameters. The sequence of matrices that is used to weigh the discrepancy between the unrestricted estimates and the restriction function is allowed to have a stochastic limit. For MD estimators based on unrestricted estimators with a mixed normal asymptotic distribution the optimal weight matrix is derived and a goodness-of-fit test is proposed. Our estimation theory is illustrated in the context of a permanent-income model and a present-value model.


The Gaussian and non- Gaussian autoregressive models are used in this paper for analyzing time series data. The autoregressive time series models with various distributions are considered here for analyzing the annual rainfall of Punjab, India. Three different types of autoregressive models are applied here for analyzing data namely autoregressive model with Gaussian, Gamma and Laplace distribution. For the goodness of fit the chi - square test is applied and the best fitted distribution is obtained for the data. Next the stationarity of data is checked, after that models are applied on data for comparing three distributions of AR models and lastly the best fitted model is obtained. The residual checking of selected model is also discussed and forecast the best fitted model based on simulated response comparison.
