摘要

In this article, the nearly nonstationary AR(1) processes, that is, Y(t) = beta Y(t-1) + epsilon(t) with beta = 1 - gamma/n and gamma being a fixed constant, are studied under the condition that the disturbances of the processes are a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, which is in the domain of attraction of the normal law with zero means and possibly infinite variances. Compared with the result in Chan and Wei (1987), a more robust statistics about the least squares estimate of beta is introduced.
