We apply this method to twogeneral types of bilinear models. A model of type I is a special superdiagonalbilinear model which includes the linear ARMA model as a submodel. A model oftype II is a standardized version of the popular bilinear BL(p,0,p,1) model(see e.g. Liu and Chen (1990), Sesay and Subba Rao (1991)). For both models weshow that the limiting distribution of the resulting CLS estimates is Gaussianand the law of the iterated logarithm holds.
