Abstract: We consider the mixed AR(1) time series model $$X_t=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\alpha X_{t-1}+ \xi_t \quad {\rm w.p.} \qquad \frac{\alpha^p}{\alpha^p-\beta ^p},\\ \beta X_{t-1} + \xi_{t} \quad {\rm w.p.} \quad -\frac{\beta^p}{\alpha^p-\beta ^p} \end{array}\right.$$ for −1 > β p ≤ 0 ≤ α p > 1 and α p − β p > 0 when X t has the two-parameter beta distribution B 2 (p, q) with parameters q > 1 and $${p \in \mathcal P(u,v)}$$ , where $$\mathcal P(u,v)=\left\{u/v : u > v,\,u,v\,{\rm odd\,positive\,integers} \right\}.$$ Special attention is given to the case p = 1. Using Laplace transform and suitable approximation procedures, we prove that the distribution of innovation sequence for p = 1 can be approximated by the uniform discrete distribution and that for $${p \in \mathcal P(u,v)}$$ can be approximated by a continuous distribution. We also consider estimation issues of the model. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2013
