Abstract
The problem of outlier estimation in time series is addressed. The least squares estimators of additive and innovation outliers in the framework of linear stationary and non-stationary models are considered and their bias is evaluated. As a result, simple alternative nearly unbiased estimators are proposed both for the additive and the innovation outlier types. A simulation study confirms the theoretical results and suggests that the proposed estimators are effective in reducing the bias also for short series.
