Convergence of conditional expectations
Convergence rate of the distributions of normalized maximum likelihood estimators for irregular parametric families.
Convergencia del vector de probabilidad a posteriori bajo una distribución predictiva.
La convergencia casi segura de una sucesión de variables aleatorias, con respecto a PX,Q (distribución predictiva), se estudia en relación con la convergencia casi segura, con respecto a PX,θ (para todo θ ∈ Θ), donde {PX,θ}θ ∈ Θ es una familia de modelos de probabilidad sobre el espacio muestral χ.Como consecuencia, se estudia la convergencia casi segura del vector de probabilidad a posteriori con respecto a PX,Q.
Correction to the paper “On the two-sided quality control”
The correction sonsists of deriving correct explicit formulas for MLE of parameters of the normal distribution under the hypothesis .

Coupling a stochastic approximation version of EM with an MCMC procedure
The stochastic approximation version of EM (SAEM) proposed by Delyon et al. (1999) is a powerful alternative to EM when the E-step is intractable. Convergence of SAEM toward a maximum of the observed likelihood is established when the unobserved data are simulated at each iteration under the conditional distribution. We show that this very restrictive assumption can be weakened. Indeed, the results of Benveniste et al. for stochastic approximation with markovian perturbations are used to establish...

Covariance matrix elements estimation: special linear model without and with repeated measurement
Cross additivity - an application
We try to show that Discriminant Analysis can be considered as a branch of Statistical Decision Theory when viewed from a Bayesian approach. First we present the necessary measure theory results, next we briefly outline the foundations of Bayesian Inference before developing Discriminant Analysis as an application of Bayesian Estimation. Our approach renders Discriminant Analysis more flexible since it gives the possibility of classing an element as belonging to a group of populations. This possibility...

Deficiencias del test de la razón de verosimilitud para contrastar ciertas hipótesis con restricciones de orden.
En este trabajo se estudian problemas de test de hipótesis para el vector de las medidas de poblaciones normales independientes con varianzas conocidas, cuando ambas, la hipótesis nula y la alternativa, imponen restricciones de orden sobre los parámetros.Se demuestra que para las hipótesis planteadas el test de razón de verosimilitud (TRV) está dominado por otro TRV para hipótesis que desprecian parte de la información de que se dispone.
Density estimation via best -approximation on classes of step functions
We establish consistent estimators of jump positions and jump altitudes of a multi-level step function that is the best -approximation of a probability density function . If itself is a step-function the number of jumps may be unknown.

Design of a model following control system for nonlinear descriptor system in discrete time
A model following control system (MFCS) can output general signals following the desired ones. In this paper, a method of nonlinear MFCS will be extended to be a nonlinear descriptor system in discrete time. The nonlinear system studied in this paper has the property of norm constraint , where , , . In this case, a new criterion is proposed to ensure the internal states be stable.

Detecting abrupt changes in random fields
This paper is devoted to the study of some asymptotic properties of a -estimator in a framework of detection of abrupt changes in random field’s distribution. This class of problems includes e.g. recovery of sets. It involves various techniques, including -estimation method, concentration inequalities, maximal inequalities for dependent random variables and -mixing. Penalization of the criterion function when the size of the true model is unknown is performed. All the results apply under mild,...

Detecting Changes in a Multivariate Renewal Process.
Detection of transient change in mean – a linear behavior inside epidemic interval
A procedure for testing occurrance of a transient change in mean of a sequence is suggested where inside an epidemic interval the mean is a linear function of time points. Asymptotic behavior of considered trimmed maximum-type test statistics is presented. Approximate critical values are obtained using an approximation of exceedance probabilities over a high level by Gaussian fields with a locally stationary structure.
