Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of the identification and estimation of TAR models with one threshold variable when the noise process follows a t distribution. A Bayesian procedure of three stages based on Gibbs samplings is proposed. A simulated example indicates that the procedure proposed has a good performance.
