We establish asymptotic normality and consistency for rank-based estimators of autoregressive-moving average model parameters. The estimators are obtained by minimizing a rank-based residual dispersion function similar to the one given by L.A. Jaeckel [Ann. Math. Stat. Vol. 43 (1972) 1449-1458]....

We consider a rank-based technique for estimating generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic (GARCH) model parameters, some of which are scale transformations of conventional GARCH parameters. The estimators are obtained by minimizing a rank-based residual dispersion function...
