Abstract

The spatial autoregressive process X-k,X-l = alpha(X-k-1,X-l + X-k,X-l-1) + epsilon(k,l), where k, l greater than or equal to 1 is investigated. We consider the least squares estimator alpha(m,n) of alpha based on the observations {X-k,X-l: 1 less than or equal to k less than or equal to m and 1 less than or equal to e less than or equal to n}. In the stable (i.e. asymptotically stationary) case, when \alpha\ < 1/2, asymptotic normality (mn)(1/2)(alpha(m,n) - alpha) -->(D) N (0, sigma(alpha)(2)) as m, n --> infinity with m/n --> constant > 0 can be derived from the previous more general results due to Basu and Reinsel (1992, 1993, 1994). In the unstable case, when la I = 1/2, we prove again asymptotic normality, but (in contrast to the doubly geometric spatial model) with a surprising rate of convergence, namely (mn)(5/8)(alpha(m,n) - alpha) -->(D) N(0, sigma(2)) as in, n --> infinity with m/n --> constant > 0.
