We consider the nonstationary fractional model $\Delta^{d}X_{t}=\varepsilon _{t}$ with $\varepsilon_{t}$ i.i.d.$(0,\sigma^{2})$ and $d1/2$. We derive an analytical expression for the main term of the asymptotic bias of the maximum likelihood estimator of $d$ conditional on initial values, and we...

We consider the nonstationary fractional model Delta^d Xt = epsilon t with epsilon t i.i.d.(0;sigma^2) and d 1/2. We derive an analytical expression for the main term of the asymptotic biasof the maximum likelihood estimator of d conditional on initial values, and we discussthe role of the...

The sup<InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$LM$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> test for structural change is embedded into a permutation test framework for a simple location model. The resulting conditional permutation distribution is compared to the usual (unconditional) asymptotic distribution, showing that the power of the test can be clearly improved in...</equationsource></inlineequation>

We derive semiparametric methods for estimating and testing treatment effects when censored recurrent event data are available over multiple periods. These methods are based on estimating functions motivated by a working “mixed-Poisson” assumption under which conditioning can eliminate...

This paper derives exact expressions for statistical curvature and related geometric quantities in the first order autoregressive models with stable and unit roots, as well as explosive roots larger than unity. We develop a method for deriving exact moments of arbitrary order in general...

This manuscript considers inference on a single parameter in a multivariate canonical exponential family, where the effect of nuisance parameters on the p-value is mitigated by conditioning on the event that the sufficient statistics associated with the nuisance parameters lie in a neighborhood...
