Title: Bent-Cable Regression with Autoregressive Noise
Author(s): Grace Chiu*+ and Richard Lockhart

Keywords: autoregressive ; bent-cable regression ; change-point ; time series
Abstract:

Bent-cable regression extends the popular piecewise linear (broken-stick) model, allowing for a smooth change region of any non-negative width. Existing bent-cable methodology assumes independent and identically distributed errors. In this talk, we investigate data that exhibit a bent-cable mean structure with noise generated by a low order autoregressive model. We suggest a somewhat unusual approach for developing asymptotics of both regression and time series parameter estimators. Preliminary results based on simulations and physiological and atmospheric datasets are presented.
