Abstract
In this paper we propose a recursive online algorithm for estimating the parameters of a time-varying ARCH process. The estimation is done by updating the estimator at time point $t−1$ with observations about the time point $t$ to yield an estimator of the parameter at time point $t$. The sampling properties of this estimator are studied in a non-stationary context – in particular, asymptotic normality and an expression for the bias due to non-stationarity are established. By running two recursive online algorithms in parallel with different step sizes and taking a linear combination of the estimators, the rate of convergence can be improved for parameter curves from Hölder classes of order between 1 and 2.
