<Para ID="Par1">In this paper, we consider the Conway–Maxwell Poisson (COM-Poisson) cure rate model based on a competing risks scenario. This model includes, as special cases, some of the well-known cure rate models discussed in the literature. By assuming the time-to-event to follow the generalized gamma...</para>

Bootstrap likelihood ratio tests of cointegration rank are commonly used because they tend to have rejection probabilities that are closer to the nominal level than the rejection probabilities of asymptotic tests. The effect of bootstrapping the test on its power is largely unknown. We show that...

While optimal rates of convergence in L <Subscript>2</Subscript> for spectral regularization estimators in statistical inverse problems have been much studied, the pointwise asymptotics for these estimators have received very little consideration. Here, we briefly discuss asymptotic expressions for bias and variance...</subscript>

In their recent paper, Wang and Leblanc (Ann Inst Stat Math 60:883–900, <CitationRef CitationID="CR17">2008</CitationRef>) have shown that the second-order least squares estimator (SLSE) is more efficient than the ordinary least squares estimator (OLSE) when the errors are independent and identically distributed with non zero third...</citationref>
