Stationary solutions for integer-valued autoregressive processes.
Methods for estimating parameters and testing hypotheses in a periodic autoregression are investigated in the paper. The parameters of the model are supposed to be random variables with a vague prior density. The innovation process can have either constant or periodically changing variances. Theoretical results are demonstrated on two simulated series and on two sets of real data.
Given a realization on a finite interval of a continuous-time stationary process, we construct estimators for higher order spectral densities. Tapering and shift-in-time methods are used to build estimators which are asymptotically unbiased and consistent for all admissible values of the argument. Asymptotic results for the fourth-order densities are given. Detailed attention is paid to the nth order case.
Spatial structures in the form of point patterns arise in many different contexts, and in most of them the key goal concerns the detection and recognition of the underlying spatial pattern. Particularly interesting is the case of pattern analysis with replicated data in two or more experimental groups. This paper compares design-based and model-based approaches to the analysis of this kind of spatial data. Basic questions about pattern detection concern estimating the properties of the underlying...
Many protein sequences present non trivial periodicities, such as cysteine signatures and leucine heptads. These known periodicities probably represent a small percentage of the total number of sequences periodic structures, and it is useful to have general tools to detect such sequences and their period in large databases of sequences. We compare three statistics adapted from those used in time series analysis: a generalisation of the simple autocovariance based on a similarity score and two statistics...

The estimation of probabilistic deformable template models in computer vision or of probabilistic atlases in Computational Anatomy are core issues in both fields. A first coherent statistical framework where the geometrical variability is modelled as a hidden random variable has been given by [S. Allassonnière et al., J. Roy. Stat. Soc.69 (2007) 3–29]. They introduce a Bayesian approach and mixture of them to estimate deformable template models. A consistent stochastic algorithm has been introduced...
This paper considers the properties of a minimum variance self-tuning tracker for MIMO systems described by ARMAX models. It is assumed that the stochastic noise has a non-Gaussian distribution. Such an assumption introduces into a recursive algorithm a nonlinear transformation of the prediction error. The system under consideration is minimum phase with different dimensions for input and output vectors. In the paper the concept of Kronecker's product is used, which allows us to represent unknown...
In this paper a new multifractal stochastic process called Limit of the Integrated Superposition of Diffusion processes with Linear differencial Generator (LISDLG) is presented which realistically characterizes the network traffic multifractality. Several properties of the LISDLG model are presented including long range dependence, cumulants, logarithm of the characteristic function, dilative stability, spectrum and bispectrum. The model captures higher-order statistics by the cumulants. The relevance...
