Abstract

This article is concerned with statistical inference and prediction of mean and variance changes in an autoregressive time series. We first extend the analysis of random mean-shift models to random variance-shift models. We then consider a method for predicting when a shift is about to occur. This involves appending to the autoregressive model a probit model for the probability that a shift occurs given a chosen set of explanatory variables. The basic computational tool we use in the proposed analysis is the Gibbs sampler. For illustration, we apply the analysis to several examples.
