SUMMARYWe aim at estimates of autoregressive-moving average parameters which are simultaneously consistent at the nominal Gaussian model and insensitive to outliers in the data. The estimates may be viewed as a robust version of maximum likelihood estimates of order r and, for purely autoregressive models, reduce to a special case of generalized M-estimates.Some key words: Autoregressive-moving average model; Generalized M-estimate; Maximum likelihood estimation of order r; Robust estimation.
