The proposed smooth blockwise iterative thresholding estimator (SBITE) is a model selection technique defined as a fixed point reached by iterating a likelihood gradient-based thresholding function. The smooth James--Stein thresholding function has two regularization parameters λ and ν, and a...

This article presents a new estimation method for the parameters of a time series model. We consider here composite Gaussian processes that are the sum of independent Gaussian processes which, in turn, explain an important aspect of the time series, as is the case in engineering and natural...
