Minimax and bayes estimation in deconvolution problem*
We consider a deconvolution problem of estimating a signal blurred with a random noise. The noise is assumed to be a stationary Gaussian process multiplied by a weight function function εh where h ∈ L2(R1) and ε is a small parameter. The underlying solution is assumed to be infinitely differentiable. For this model we find asymptotically minimax and Bayes estimators. In the case of solutions having finite number of derivatives similar results were obtained in [G.K. Golubev and R.Z. Khasminskii,...

Minimum distance estimator for a hyperbolic stochastic partial differentialequation
We study a minimum distance estimator in -norm for a class ofnonlinear hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equations, driven by atwo-parameter white noise. The consistency and asymptotic normality of thisestimator are established under some regularity conditions on thecoefficients. Our results are applied to the two-parameterOrnstein-Uhlenbeck process.
Multidimensional limit theorems for smoothed extreme value estimates of point processes boundaries
In this paper, we give sufficient conditions to establish central limit theorems and moderate deviation principle for a class of support estimates of empirical and Poisson point processes. The considered estimates are obtained by smoothing some bias corrected extreme values of the point process. We show how the smoothing permits to obtain Gaussian asymptotic limits and therefore pointwise confidence intervals. Some unidimensional and multidimensional examples are provided.

Nonparametric estimation of the jump rate for non-homogeneous marked renewal processes
This paper is devoted to the nonparametric estimation of the jump rate and the cumulative rate for a general class of non-homogeneous marked renewal processes, defined on a separable metric space. In our framework, the estimation needs only one observation of the process within a long time. Our approach is based on a generalization of the multiplicative intensity model, introduced by Aalen in the seventies. We provide consistent estimators of these two functions, under some assumptions related to...
Nonparametric inference for discretely sampled Lévy processes
Given a sample from a discretely observed Lévy process X = (Xt)t≥0 of the finite jump activity, the problem of nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density ρ corresponding to the process X is studied. An estimator of ρ is proposed that is based on a suitable inversion of the Lévy–Khintchine formula and a plug-in device. The main results of the paper deal with upper risk bounds for estimation of ρ over suitable classes of Lévy triplets. The corresponding lower bounds are also discussed.

On a strongly consistent estimator of the squared L_2-norm of a function
A kernel estimator of the squared -norm of the intensity function of a Poisson random field is defined. It is proved that the estimator is asymptotically unbiased and strongly consistent. The problem of estimating the squared -norm of a function disturbed by a Wiener random field is also considered.
On an estimation problem for type I censored spatial Poisson processes
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating the intensity of a spatial homogeneous Poisson process if a part of the observations (quadrat counts) is censored. The actual problem has occurred during a court case when one of the authors was a referee for the defense.
On cumulative process model and its statistical analysis
The notion of the counting process is recalled and the idea of the ‘cumulative’ process is presented. While the counting process describes the sequence of events, by the cumulative process we understand a stochastic process which cumulates random increments at random moments. It is described by an intensity of the random (counting) process of these moments and by a distribution of increments. We derive the martingale – compensator decomposition of the process and then we study the estimator of the...

On invertibility of a random coefficient moving average model
A linear moving average model with random coefficients (RCMA) is proposed as more general alternative to usual linear MA models. The basic properties of this model are obtained. Although some model properties are similar to linear case the RCMA model class is too general to find general invertibility conditions. The invertibility of some special examples of RCMA(1) model are investigated in this paper.

On multiple periodic autoregression
The model of periodic autoregression is generalized to the multivariate case. The autoregressive matrices are periodic functions of time. The mean value of the process can be a non-vanishing periodic sequence of vectors. Estimators of parameters and tests of statistical hypotheses are based on the Bayes approach. Two main versions of the model are investigated, one with constant variance matrices and the other with periodic variance matrices of the innovation process.
