Abstract: The paper presents an extension of K.Pearson's approach to testing via his chi-square statistics.

Modern construction of uniform confidence bands for nonparametric densities (and other functions) often relies on the classical Smirnov-Bickel-Rosenblatt (SBR) condition; see, for example, Giné and Nickl (2010). This condition requires the existence of a limit distribution of an extreme value...

Forecast accuracy is typically measured in terms of a given loss function. However, as a consequence of the use of misspecified models in multiple model comparisons, relative forecast rankings are loss function dependent. This paper addresses this issue by using a novel criterion for forecast...

This paper proposes a methodology for analyzing nonlinear pricing data with an illustration on cellular phone. The model incorporates consumer exclusion. Assuming a known tariff, we establish identification of the model primitives using the first-order conditions of both the firm and the...

We review recent asymptotic results on some robust methods for multiple regression. The regressors include stationary and non-stationary time series as well as polynomial terms. The methods include the Huber-skip M-estimator, 1-step Huber-skip M-estimators, in particular the Impulse Indicator...
