On equivalence problem in linear regression models. II. Unbiased estimation of the covariance matrix scalar factor

Gejza Wimmer (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

There exist many different ways of determining the best linear unbiased estimation of regression coefficients in general regression model. In Part I of this article it is shown that all these ways are numerically equivalent almost everyvhere. In Part II conditions are considered under which all the unbiased estimations of the unknown covariance matrix scalar factor are numerically equivalent almost everywhere.

On the autocorrelation function of a trended series.

Cecilio Mar Molinero (1985)

Qüestiió

Equations are derived for the autocorrelation function of a trended series. The special case of a linear trend is analysed in detail. It is shown that the zero of the autocorrelation function of a trended series is, in general, only dependent on the length of the series. This result is valid for stochastic and deterministic trends.

On the efficiency of procedures for estimation of parameters in ARIMA models.

Bala Chandra (1984)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

The paper discusses the implementation of the Newton-Raphson iterative method of estimation of parameters in the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. The efficiency of this method has been compared with other well known methods of estimation.

Seasonal Forcing Drives Spatio-Temporal Pattern Formation in Rabies Epidemics

N. V. Festenberg, T. Gross, B. Blasius (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Seasonal forcing is identified as a key pattern generating mechanism in an epidemic model of rabies dispersal. We reduce an established individual-based high-detail model down to a deterministic conceptual model. The characteristic wave pattern characterized by high densities of infected individuals is maintained throughout the reduction process. In our model it is evident that seasonal forcing is the dominant factor that drives pattern formation. In particular we show that seasonal forcing can...
