“…The process x j , t closest to the must verify the condition h j −1 < i h j . More precisely, following Tiao and Tsay (1983), we decompose U ( B ) as a product of factors A k ( B ) whose zeroes are all simple, that is and to consider, unlike Chan and Wei (1988) and Truong‐van and Larramendy (1996), the particular processes x j , t for j =1,2,…, m , whose characteristic polynomials are . Since for j m −1, the x j , t ‐processes are not classical unstable ARMA because their error terms are nonstationary, we extend the technique in Chan and Wei (1988) to establish that, for j =1,2,…, m −1, the OLS estimators of the AR parameters of the x j , t ‐processes are distributed as linear combination of ratios of inner products of iterated integrals of a Brownian motion.…”
