Abstract.For the SETAR (2; 1,1) modelwhere {at(i)} are i.i.d. random variables with mean 0 and variance σ2(i), i = 1,2, and {at(l)} is independent of {at(2)}, we consider estimators of φ1, φ2and r which minimize weighted sums of the sum of squares functions for σ2(1) and σ2(2). These include as a special case the usual least squares estimators. It is shown that the usual least squares estimators of φ1, φ2andrare consistent. If σ2(1) ≠σ2(2) conditions on the weights are found under which the estimators of r and φ1or φ2are no
