Abstract

We study the limiting behavior of the M-estimators of parameters for a spatial unilateral autoregressive model with independent and identically distributed innovations in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index α ∈ (0, 2]. Both stationary and unit root models and some extensions are considered. It is also shown that self-normalized M-estimators are asymptotically normal. A numerical example and a simulation study are also given.
