| Abstract: | In this paper we consider a Bayesian analysis for an autoregressive model with random normal coefficients (RCA). For the proposed procedure we use conjugate priors for some parameters and improper vague priors for others. The inference for the parameters is made via Gibbs sampler and the convergence is assessed with multiple chains and Gelman and Rubin criterium. Forecasts are based on the predictive density of future observations. Some remarks are also made regarding order determination and stationarity. Applications to simulated and real series are given. |
