Statistical analysis of time series with scaling indices.
A statistic using the concept of order - weighted information energy introduced by Tuteja et al. (1992) is considered and its asymptotic distribution in a stratified random sampling is obtained. Some special cases are also discussed.
In this paper we study in detail the associativity property of the discrete copulas. We observe the connection between discrete copulas and the empirical copulas, and then we propose a statistic that indicates when an empirical copula is associative and obtain its main statistical properties under independence. We also obtained asymptotic results of the proposed statistic. Finally, we study the associativity statistic under different copulas and we include some final remarks about associativity...
The purpose of this paper is to study the asymptotic choice between two models {F(x|α), α ∈ A ⊆ R} and {G(x|β), β ∈ B ⊆ R}, A and B being intervals but such that for (α0, β0}, and only for this pair, we have F(x|α0) = G(x|β0).
Given a realization on a finite interval of a continuous-time stationary process, we construct estimators for higher order spectral densities. Tapering and shift-in-time methods are used to build estimators which are asymptotically unbiased and consistent for all admissible values of the argument. Asymptotic results for the fourth-order densities are given. Detailed attention is paid to the nth order case.
In statistical inference on the drift parameter in the Wiener process with a constant drift there is a large number of options how to do it. We may, for example, base this inference on the properties of the standard normal distribution applied to the differences between the observed values of the process at discrete times. Although such methods are very simple, it turns out that more appropriate is to use the sequential methods. For the hypotheses testing about the drift parameter it is more...
This article presents a new concept for a statistical fault detection system, including the detection, diagnosis, and prediction of faults. Theoretical material has been collected to provide a complete algorithm making possible the design of a usable system for statistical inference on the basis of the current value of a symptom vector. The use of elements of artificial intelligence enables self-correction and adaptation to changing conditions. The mathematical apparatus is founded on the methodology...
Our research is centred on the stochastic structure of matched open populations, subjected to periodical reclassifications. These populations are divided into sub-populations. In our application we considered two populations of customers of a bank: with and without account manager. Two or more of such population are matched when there is a 1-1 correspondence between their sub-populations and the elements of one of them can go to another, if and only if the same occurs with elements from the...
