In this paper we tackle the ANOVA problem for directional data (with particular emphasison geological data) by having recourse to the Le Cam methodology usually reserved for linearmultivariate analysis. We construct locally and asymptotically most stringent parametric testsfor ANOVA for...

This paper is devoted to the R-estimation problem for the parameter of a stationary ARMA model. The asymptotic uniform linearity of a suitable vector of rank statistics leads to the asymptotic normality of √n-consistent R-estimates resulting from the minimization of the norm of this vector. By...
