Abstract

Summary. This note reconsiders the nonnegative integer-valued bilinear processes introduced by Doukhan, Latour, and Oraichi (2006). Using a hidden Markov argument, we extend their result of the existence of a stationary solution for the INBL(1,0,1,1) process to the class of superdiagonal INBL(p; q; m; n) models. Our approach also yields improved parameter restrictions for several moment conditions compared to the ones in Doukhan, Latour, and Oraichi (2006).

Keywords: count data, integer-valued time series, bilinear model
