Abstract

The strong consistency of M estimators of the regression parameters in linear models for \(\tilde \rho\)-mixing random errors under some mild conditions is established, which is an essential improvement over the relevant results in the literature on the moment conditions and mixing errors. Especially, Theorem of Wu (2005) is improved essentially on the moment conditions.
