We consider band-limited frequency-domain goodness-of-fit testing for stationary time series, without smoothing or tapering the periodogram, while taking into account the effects of parameter uncertainty (from maximum-likelihood estimation). We are principally interested in modeling short...

This paper derives the joint density of a particular trivariate non-central [chi]2 distribution corresponding to the diagonal elements of a 3x3 complex non-central Wishart matrix. This distribution is important for a number of practical statistical signal processing applications, including...

This paper discusses the asymptotic properties of estimators of ARMAX systems under weak low-level assumptions on the joint input/output process. The prime representative of this class of algorithms is CVA [W.E. Larimore, System identification, reduced order filters and modeling via canonical...

Linear and quadratic prediction problems in finite populations have become of great interest to many authors recently. In the present paper, we mainly aim to extend the problem of quadratic prediction from a general linear model, of form , to a multivariate linear model, denoted by with ....

Consider the generalized growth curve model subject to R(Xm)[subset, double equals]...[subset, double equals]R(X1), where Bi are the matrices of unknown regression coefficients, and and are independent and identically distributed with the same first four moments as a random vector normally...

Suppose we observe a time series that alternates between different nonlinear autoregressive processes. We give conditions under which the model is locally asymptotically normal, derive a characterization of efficient estimators for differentiable functionals of the model, and use it to construct...

The aim of this work is to introduce a new nonparametric regression technique in the context of functional covariate and scalar response. We propose a local linear regression estimator and study its asymptotic behaviour. Its finite-sample performance is compared with a Nadayara-Watson type...

The Hough transform is a common computer vision algorithm used to detect shapes in a noisy image. Originally the Hough transform was proposed as a technique for detection of straight lines in images. In this paper we study the statistical properties of the Hough transform estimator in the...

The paper is about the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator for the extreme value index. Under the second order condition, Drees et al. [H. Drees, A. Ferreira, L. de Haan, On maximum likelihood estimation of the extreme value index, Ann. Appl. Probab. 14 (2004) 1179-1201]...
