Abstract
Stochastic approximation methods are used to generate a sequence of "$M$-estimates" for the unknown parameters of an autoregressive process of known, finite order which may have heavy-tailed innovations. Weak dependence properties, which can be demonstrated for many autoregressive processes, are used in the proof that the sequence converges almost surely to the parameters. A brief Monte Carlo study verifies that bounded influence functions provide protection for recursive procedures against heavy-tailed innovations.
