Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator in autoregressive models with Markov regime

Douc, R ; Moulines, E and Rydén, Tobias LU (2004) In Annals of Statistics 32(5). p.2254-2304
Abstract
An autoregressive process with Markov regime is an autoregressive process for which the regression function at each time point is given by a nonobservable Markov chain. In this paper we consider the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator in a possibly nonstationary process of this kind for which the hidden state space is compact but not necessarily finite. Consistency and asymptotic normality are shown to follow from uniform exponential forgetting of the initial distribution for the hidden Markov chain conditional on the observations.
