Haugh [Journal of the American Statistical Association (1976) Vol. 71, pp. 378-85] developed an approach to the problem of testing non-correlation (at all leads and lags) between two univariate time series. Haugh's tests, however, have low power against two series which are related over a long...

For more than half a century, Manfred Deistler has been contributing to the construction of the rigorous theoretical foundations of the statistical analysis of time series and more general stochastic processes. Half a century of unremitting activity is not easily summarized in a few pages. In...

Linear models with stable error densities are considered. The local asymptotic normality of the resulting model is established. We use this result, combined with Le~Cam's third lemma, to obtain local powers of various classical rank tests (Wilcoxon's and van der Waerden's test, the median test,...

Irrespective of the statistical model under study, the derivation of limits, in the Le Cam sense, of sequences of local experiments (see [7]-[10]) often follows along very similar lines, essentially involving differentiability in quadratic mean of square roots of (conditional) densities. This...
