The problem of posterior regret Γ-minimax estimation under LINEX loss function is considered. A general form of posterior regret Γ-minimax estimators is presented and it is applied to a normal model with two classes of priors. A situation when the posterior regret Γ-minimax estimator, the most stable estimator and the conditional Γ-minimax estimator coincide is presented.
Consider testing whether F = F0 for a continuous cdf on R = (-∞,∞) and for a random sample X1,..., Xn from F. We derive expansions of the associated asymptotic power based on the Cramer-von Mises, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Kuiper statistics. We provide numerical illustrations using a double-exponential example with a shifted alternative.
We find precise small deviation asymptotics with respect to the Hilbert norm for some special Gaussian processes connected to two regression schemes studied by MacNeill and his coauthors. In addition, we also obtain precise small deviation asymptotics for the detrended Brownian motion and detrended Slepian process.
Metodu nejmenších čtverců dnes běžně používáme v matematice i statistice. Poprvé ji publikoval Adrien Marie Legendre v roce 1805. V následujícím článku se společně podíváme, jaké byly hlavní vědecké problémy století, které objevu předcházelo. Poté ukážeme další metody, které byly používány pro kombinování nekonzistentních rovnic. V závěru nastíníme spor mezi Gaussem a Legendrem o to, kdo metodu nejmenších čtverců objevil jako první.
We establish rates of convergences in statistical learning for time series forecasting. Using the PAC-Bayesian approach, slow rates of convergence √ d/n for the Gibbs estimator under the absolute loss were given in a previous work [7], where n is the sample size and d the dimension of the set of predictors. Under the same weak dependence conditions, we extend this result to any convex Lipschitz loss function. We also identify a condition on the parameter space that ensures similar rates for the...
Outliers in a time series often cause problems in fitting a suitable model to the data. Hence predictions based on such models are liable to be erroneous. In this paper we consider a stable first-order autoregressive process and suggest two methods of substituting an outlier by imputed values and then predicting on the basis of it. The asymptotic properties of both the process parameter estimators and the predictors are also studied.
