    Abstract

    Analysis of a large number of independent replications from short, first order autoregressive type time series is considered. Maximum likelihood estimation (mle) procedure is discussed in both approximate and exact forms. A simulation study is carried out. It is shown that both the approximate and exact mle methods provide unbiased and very efficient (in the minimum mean square sense) estimates for the parameters.
