Abstract

We consider the problem of threshold estimation for autoregressive time series with a "space switching" in the situation when the regression is nonlinear and the innovations have a smooth, possibly non-Gaussian, probability density. Assuming that the unknown threshold parameter is sampled from a continuous positive prior density, we find the asymptotic distribution of the Bayes estimator. As is usual in the singular estimation problems, the sequence of Bayes estimators is asymptotically efficient, attaining the minimax risk lower bound.
