This paper discusses model-based inference in an autoregressive model for fractional processes which allows the process to be fractional of order d or d-b. Fractional differencing involves infinitely many past values and because we are interested in nonstationary processes we model the data X-1, ..., X-T given the initial values X-n = 0, 1, ..., as is usually done. The initial values are not modeled but assumed to be bounded. This represents a considerable generalization relative to previous work where it is assumed that initial values are zero. For the statistical analysis we assume the conditional Gaussian likelihood and for the probability analysis we also condition on initial values but assume that the errors in the autoregressive model are i.i.d. with suitable moment conditions. We analyze the conditional likelihood and its derivatives as stochastic processes in the parameters, including d and b, and prove that they converge in distribution. We use these results to prove consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator ford. b in a large compact subset of {1/2 < b < d < infinity}, and to find the asymptotic distribution of the estimators and the likelihood ratio test of the associated fractional unit root hypothesis. The limit distributions contain the fractional Brownian motion of type II. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
