Abstract
To predict future values based on imprecisely observed values, uncertain time series has been proposed, and the least-squares method has been presented to estimate the unknown parameters of uncertain autoregressive models. This paper considers the least absolute deviations estimation of uncertain autoregressive model, and a minimization problem is derived to calculate the unknown parameters in the uncertain autoregressive model. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the robustness of the least absolute deviations estimation compared with the least-squares estimation.

Appendix A: Absolute value of uncertain variable
Let be an uncertainty space, whose measure satisfies normality, duality, subadditivity and product axioms. As a basic concept, the formal definition of an uncertain variable is given as follows. If \(\xi \) is an uncertain variable defined on an uncertainty space , and its uncertainty distribution is \(\varPhi (\cdot )\), then the expected of absolute value \(|\xi |\) is
Stipulation A.1
Let \(\xi \) be an uncertain variable with uncertainty distribution \(\varPhi \). Then the expected of absolute value \(|\xi |\) is
We can easily obtain the following formula via the change of variables and integration by parts,
Furthermore, if \(\varPhi \) is regular, then we have
form the change of variables.
