Integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) processes have been introduced to model nonnegative integervalued phenomena that evolve in time.The distribution of an INAR(p) process is determined by two parameters: a vector of survival probabilities and a probability distribution on the nonnegative...

This paper considers integer-valued autoregressive processes where the autoregression parameter is close to unity.We consider the asymptotics of this `near unit root' situation.The local asymptotic structure of the likelihood ratios of the model is obtained, showing that the limit experiment is...

Integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) processes have been introduced to model nonnegative integer-valued phenomena that evolve over time. The distribution of an INAR(p) process is essentially described by two parameters: a vector of autoregression coefficients and a probability distribution on...

In this paper we develop tests for the hypothesis that a series (observed in discrete time) is generated by a diffusion process and discuss the results of these tests for several exchange rates and stock market indices. The tests of this hypothesis that have been proposed up to now in literature...

Summary. This note reconsiders the nonnegative integer-valued bilinear processes introduced by Doukhan, Latour, and Oraichi (2006). Using a hidden Markov argument, we extend their result of the existence of a stationary solution for the INBL(1,0,1,1) process to the class of superdiagonal INBL(p;...
