A local likelihood density estimator is shown to have asymptotic bias depending on the dimension of the local parameterization. Comparing with kernel estimation it is demonstrated using a variety of bandwidths that we may obtain as good and potentially even better estimates using local...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate threshold VAR cointegration models. In the models, outside a compact region, the processes are cointegrated, while in the compact region, we allow different kinds of possibilities. We show that the bivariate processes from a 1/2-null recurrent...

We develop a nonparametric estimation theory in a non-stationary environment, more precisely in the framework of null recurrent Markov chains. An essential tool is the split chain, which makes it possible to decompose the times series under consideration in independent and identical parts. A...

We propose a method of modeling panel time series data with both inter- and intra-individual correlation, and of fitting an autoregressive model to such data. Estimates are obtained by a conditional likelihood argument. If there are few observations in each series, the estimates can be...

This paper considers a general model specification test for nonlinear multivariate cointegrating regressions where the regressor consists of a univariate integrated time series and a vector of stationary time series. The regressors and the errors are generated from the same innovations, so that...

Estimation in two classes of popular models, single-index models and partially linear single-index models, is studied in this paper. Such models feature nonstationarity. Orthogonal series expansion is used to approximate the unknown integrable link function in the models and a profile approach...

For spatio-temporal regression models with observations taken regularly in time but irregularly over space, we investigate the effect of spatial smoothing on the reduction of variance in estimating both parametric and nonparametric regression functions. The processes concerned are stationary in...

A number of problems arise when dynamic programming is applied to investment problems. Attempts have been made to circumvent these problems by using continuous time models where the state process is generated by a stochastic differential equation. In this article, the authors assume that the...

Nonparametric methods have been very popular in the last couple of decades in time series and regression, but no such development has taken place for spatial models. A rather obvious reason for this is the curse of dimensionality. For spatial data on a grid evaluating the conditional mean given...
