Abstract

The paper begins with an iterated logarithm law of classical Hartman-Wintner form for stationary martingales. This is then used to obtain iterated logarithm results giving information on rates of convergence of estimators of the parameters in a stationary autoregressive process. In the case of an autoregression of small order, detailed rate results for each autocorrelation and for the estimators of all parameters can be obtained. A rate result for the convergence of the sample mean is given in the general case.
