On the Bayesian estimation for the stationary Neyman-Scott point processes

Jiří Kopecký, Tomáš Mrkvička (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

The pure and modified Bayesian methods are applied to the estimation of parameters of the Neyman-Scott point process. Their performance is compared to the fast, simulation-free methods via extensive simulation study. Our modified Bayesian method is found to be on average 2.8 times more accurate than the fast methods in the relative mean square errors of the point estimates, where the average is taken over all studied cases. The pure Bayesian method is found to be approximately as good as the fast...

On the computation of the exact distribution of power divergence test statistics

Marco A. Marhuenda, Yolanda Marhuenda, Domingo Morales (2003)

Kybernetika

In this paper we introduce several algorithms to generate all the vectors in the support of a multinomial distribution. Computational studies are carried out to analyze their efficiency with respect to the CPU time and to calculate their efficiency frontiers. The proposed algorithm is used to calculate exact distributions of power divergence test statistics under the hypothesis of uniformity. Finally, several exact power comparisons are done for different divergence statistics and families of alternatives...

On the consistency of sieve bootstrap prediction intervals for stationary time series

Roman Różański, Adam Zagdański (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

In the article, we consider construction of prediction intervals for stationary time series using Bühlmann's [8], [9] sieve bootstrapapproach. Basic theoretical properties concerning consistency are proved. We extend the results obtained earlier by Stine [21], Masarotto and Grigoletto [13] for an autoregressive time series of finite order to the rich class of linear and invertible stationary models. Finite sample performance of the constructed intervals is investigated by computer simulations.

On the convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter

Jan Mandel, Loren Cobb, Jonathan D. Beezley (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

Convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter in the limit for large ensembles to the Kalman filter is proved. In each step of the filter, convergence of the ensemble sample covariance follows from a weak law of large numbers for exchangeable random variables, the continuous mapping theorem gives convergence in probability of the ensemble members, and L p bounds on the ensemble then give L p convergence.

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.

On the estimation in a class of diffusion-type processes. Aplication for diffusion branching processes.

Manuel Molina Fernández, Aurora Hermoso Carazo (1990)

Extracta Mathematicae

In this work a family of stochastic differential equations whose solutions are multidimensional diffusion-type (non necessarily markovian) processes is considered, and the estimation of a parametric vector θ which relates the coefficients is studied. The conditions for the existence of the likelihood function are proved and the estimator is obtained by continuously observing the process. An application for Diffusion Branching Processes is given. This problem has been studied in some special cases...

On the estimation of the autocorrelation function

Manuel Duarte Ortigueira (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

The autocorrelation function has a very important role in several application areas involving stochastic processes. In fact, it assumes the theoretical base for Spectral analysis, ARMA (and generalizations) modeling, detection, etc. However and as it is well known, the results obtained with the more current estimates of the autocorrelation function (biased or not) are frequently bad, even when we have access to a large number of points. On the other hand, in some applications, we need to perform...

On the estimation of the drift coefficient in diffusion processes with random stopping times.

Ramón Gutiérrez Jáimez, Aurora Hermoso Carazo, Manuel Molina Fernández (1986)

Trabajos de Estadística

This paper considers stochastic differential equations with solutions which are multidimensional diffusion processes with drift coefficient depending on a parametric vector θ. By considering a trajectory observed up to a stopping time, the maximum likelihood estimator for θ has been obtained and its consistency and asymptotic normality have been proved.

On the extremal behavior of a Pareto process: an alternative for ARMAX modeling

Marta Ferreira (2012)

Kybernetika

In what concerns extreme values modeling, heavy tailed autoregressive processes defined with the minimum or maximum operator have proved to be good alternatives to classical linear ARMA with heavy tailed marginals (Davis and Resnick [8], Ferreira and Canto e Castro [13]). In this paper we present a complete characterization of the tail behavior of the autoregressive Pareto process known as Yeh-Arnold-Robertson Pareto(III) (Yeh et al. [32]). We shall see that it is quite similar to the first order...
