contents In this paper, we investigate the parameter estimation for threshold Ornstein$\mathit{-}$Uhlenbeck processes. Least squares method is used to obtain continuous-type and discrete-type estimators for the drift parameters based on continuous and discrete observations, respectively. The strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed least squares estimators are studied. We also propose a modified quadratic variation estimator based on the long-time observations for the diffusion parameters and prove its consistency. Our simulation results suggest that the performance of our proposed estimators for the drift parameters may show improvements compared to generalized moment estimators. Additionally, the proposed modified quadratic variation estimator exhibits potential advantages over the usual quadratic variation estimator with relatively small sample sizes. In particular, our method can be applied to the multi-regime cases ($m>2$), while the generalized moment method only deals with the two regime cases ($m=2$). The U.S. treasury rate data is used to illustrate the theoretical results.
