摘要:This paper develops a state space modeling for long-range dependent data. Although a long-range dependent process has an infinite-dimensional state space representation, it is shown that by using the Kalman filter, the exact likelihood function can be computed recursively in a finite number of steps. Furthermore, an approximation to the likelihood function based on the truncated state space equation is considered. Asymptotic properties of these approximate maximum likelihood estimates are esta...

摘要:It is well known that L-1-estimators of regression parameters are asymptotically normal if the distribution function has a positive derivative at 0. In this paper, we derive the asymptotic distributions under more general conditions on the behavior of the distribution function near 0.

摘要:A new test is proposed in order to verify that a regression function, say g, has a prescribed (Linear) parametric form. This procedure is based on the large sample behavior of an empirical L-2-distance between g and the subspace U spanned by the regression functions to be verified. The asymptotic distribution of the test statistic is shown to be normal with parameters depending only on the variance of the observations and the L-2-distance between the regression function g and the model space U...

摘要:Nonlinear principal components for an absolutely continuous random vector X with positive bounded density are defined as the solution of a variational problem in a suitable function space. In this way transformations depending on all the components of X are obtained. Some properties of nonlinear principal components are proved: in particular, it is shown that the set of nonlinear principal transformations of X is an orthonormal basis for the function space associated with the optimal problem. ...

摘要:If U and V are independent random variables which are gamma distributed with the same scale parameter, then there exist a and b in R such that E(U | U + V) = a(U + V) and E(U-2 | U + V) = b(U + V)(2). This, in fact, is characteristic of gamma distributions. Our paper extends this property to the Wishart distributions in a suitable way, by replacing the real number U-2 by a pair of quadratic functions of the symmetric matrix U. This leads to a new characterization of the Wishart distributions, ...

摘要:We discuss a strategy for polychotomous classification that involves estimating class probabilities for each pair of classes, and then coupling the estimates together. The coupling model is similar to the Bradley-Terry method for paired comparisons. We study the nature of the class probability estimates that arise, and examine the performance of the procedure in real and simulated data sets. Classifiers used include Linear discriminants, nearest neighbors, adaptive nonlinear methods and the su...

摘要:We take a unified approach to asymptotic properties of M-m estimates based on i.i.d. observations defined through the minimization of a real-valued criterion function of one or more variables. Our results are applicable to a host of location and scale estimators found in the literature.

摘要:Given n lid copies X-1,...,X-n of a random element X in some arbitrary measurable space S, we are only interested in those observations that fall into some subset D having but a small probability of occurrence. It is assumed that the distribution P-X of X belongs on D to a parametric family P-X(.boolean AND D) = P-v, V epsilon Theta subset of R-d Nonlinear regression analysis and the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach in extreme value analysis are prominent examples. For the POT approach on S...

摘要:A class of multivariate normal models with symmetry restrictions given by a finite group and conditional independence restrictions given by a finite distributive lattice is defined and studied. The statistical properties of these models including maximum likelihood inference, invariance and hypothesis testing are discussed.
