Abstract

This paper develops an on-line estimation algorithm for periodic autoregressive models ( PAR ). Indeed, we provide an adaptation of the well known recursive least squares algorithm ( RLS ), which has been successfully applied to classical autoregressive models ( AR ), to deal with PAR models. The obtained estimators are shown to be asymptotically efficient under mild conditions. Moreover, the performance of the periodic least squares algorithm ( PRLS ) is assessed via an intensive simulation study.
