Abstract

This paper is concerned with the strong consistency of the least squares estimators for the nonlinear regression models. A simple and practical sufficient condition for the strong consistency of the least squares estimators is given. It is also discussed that the extension of the strong consistency to a wide class of regression functions can be established by imposing some condition on the input values. Some examples are given to illustrate the application of main result.
