Abstract

A sequence of first-order integer-valued autoregressive (INAR(1)) processes is investigated, where the autoregressive-type coefficient converges to 1. It is shown that the limiting distribution of the conditional least squares estimator for this coefficient is normal and the rate of convergence is n3/2. Nearly critical Galton–Watson processes with unobservable immigration are also discussed.
