Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing interest in integer-valued time series models, especially in multivariate models. Motivated by the diversity of the infinite-patch metapopulation models, we propose an extension to the popular bivariate INAR(1) model, whose innovation vector is assumed to be time-dependent in the sense that the mean of the innovation vector is linearly increased by the previous population size. We discuss the stationarity and ergodicity of the observed process and its subprocesses. We consider the conditional maximum likelihood estimate of the parameters of interest, and establish their large-sample properties. The finite sample performance of the estimator is assessed via simulations. Applications on crime data illustrate the model.
