This paper studies the threshold estimation of a TAR model when the underlying threshold parameter is a random variable. It is shown that the Bayesian estimator is consistent and its limit distribution is expressed in terms of a limit likelihood ratio. Furthermore, convergence of moments of the estimators is also established. The limit distribution can be computed via explicit simulations from which testing and inference for the threshold parameter can be conducted. The obtained results are…

On nonlinear TAR processes and threshold estimation
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…

Predictive Recursion Maximum Likelihood of Threshold Autoregressive Model
TLDR
A flexible semiparametric estimation for Threshold autoregressive model (TAR) to avoid the specification of error distribution in TAR model is proposed and a predictive recursion-based marginal likelihood function is applied to maximize this function using hybrid PREM algorithm.

Regularized Bayesian estimation of generalized threshold regression models.
Estimation of threshold parameters in (generalized) threshold regression models is typically performed by maximizing the corresponding pro file likelihood function. Also, certain Bayesian techniques…
Penalized estimation of threshold auto-regressive models with many components and thresholds
TLDR
A new framework for estimating high-dimensional TAR models is developed, and two different sparsity-inducing penalties are proposed that lead to more flexible extension of the TAR model that leads to consistent estimation and superior empirical performance in high dimensions.

Inference in TAR Models
A distribution theory is developed for least-squares estimates of the threshold in Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) models. We find that if we let the threshold effect (the difference in slopes between…
