For a sample of Exponentially distributed durations we aim at point estimation and a confidence interval for its parameter. A duration is only observed if it has ended within a certain time interval, determined by a Uniform distribution. Hence, the data is a truncated empirical process that we...

Various consistency proofs for the kernel density estimator have been developed over the last few decades. Important milestones are the pointwise consistency and almost sure uniform convergence with a fixed bandwidth on the one hand and the rate of convergence with a fixed or even a variable...

We consider the problem of predicting values of a random process or field satisfying a linear model y(x)=θ⊤f(x)+ε(x), where errors ε(x)are correlated. This is a common problem in kriging, where the case of discrete observations is standard. By focussing on the case of continuous...
