Abstract

In this paper the GLS and the ML estimators, the variance-covariance matrix, the unbiased for the GLS and the ML estimators of parameters of AR (2) model with constant in case of dependent errors have been derived, the simulation results shown that the values of MSE and Thiel’s U in case of unbounded stationary time series for all sample size T are less than the values of MSE and Thiel’s U in case of unbounded nonstationary time series which approved that the results for unbounded stationary times series are better than the results for unbounded nonstationary times series, and the simulation results for unbounded nonstationary time series shown that by using the measurement of MSE the best case among of all cases of nonstationary which gives the smallest values of MSE is case four when the first and the second conditions of stationary conditions for AR (2) model are exists, while by using the measurement of Thiel’s U the best case among of all cases of nonstationary which gives the smallest values of Thiel’s U is case six when the second and the third conditions of stationary conditions for AR (2) model are exists.
