SUMMARY A technique is given for the Edgeworth type asymptotic expansion for the joint as well as marginal and conditional distributions of the maximum likelihood estimators in autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models. Our methodology is illustrated and results on the expansions for some simple ARMA models are presented. The present paper suggests a technique for obtaining the Edgeworth type asymptotic expansion associated with the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) in ARMA models. The expansion relates to joint as well as marginal and conditional distributions. The approach developed here is simple and divided into two steps. The first is to obtain the Taylor expansion for the MLE itself from the implicit function determining the MLE. On the basis of the explicit expression for the MLE an asymptotic expansion for the distribution of the MLE is derived at the second step. These procedures are described in Section 2. In Section 3 our methodology is illustrated using a simple model and results on the expansions for some simple ARMA models are shown. This paper ends with some discussion in Section 4.
