%0 Journal Article %T Ergodicity of observation-driven time series models and consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator %A Randal Douc %A Paul Doukhan %A Eric Moulines %J Statistics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X This paper deals with a general class of observation-driven time series models with a special focus on time series of counts. We provide conditions under which there exist strict-sense stationary and ergodic versions of such processes. The consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators is then derived for well- specified and misspecified models. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.4739v2
