The MINQUE of the linear function of the unknown variance-components parameter in mixed linear model under linear restrictions of the type is defined and derived. As an illustration of this estimator the example of the one-way classification model with the restrictions , where , is given.
The paper concerns with a heteroscedastic random coefficient autoregressive model (RCA) of the form . Two different procedures for estimating or , respectively, are described under the special seasonal behaviour of . For both types of estimators strong consistency and asymptotic normality are proved.
A number of papers has been published on the estimation problem in location models with abrupt changes (e.g., Cs" orgő and Horváth (1996)). In the present paper we focus on estimators in location models with gradual changes. Estimators of the parameters are proposed and studied. It appears that the limit behavior (both the rate of consistency and limit distribution) of the estimators of the change point in location models with abrupt changes and gradual changes differ substantially.
A partir de una muestra de datos de supervivencia que contiene valores no observados en las covariantes de interés, presentamos una metodología que permite extraer toda la información contenida en covariantes completamente observadas, que estén fuertemente correlacionadas con las citadas covariantes de interés. El enfoque utilizado es completamente paramétrico y se basa en el método de máxima verosimilitud. Mostramos las dificultades, tanto de índole práctica como filosófica, que aparecen en la...
In the framework of standard model of asymptotic statistics we introduce a global information in the statistical experiment about the occurrence of the true parameter in a given set. Basic properties of this information are established, including relations to the Kullback and Fisher information. Its applicability in point estimation and testing statistical hypotheses is demonstrated.
