On a Berry-Esseen type bound for the maximum likelihood estimator of a parameter for some stochastic partial differential equations.
On a class of estimators in a multivariate RCA(1) model
This work deals with a multivariate random coefficient autoregressive model (RCA) of the first order. A class of modified least-squares estimators of the parameters of the model, originally proposed by Schick for univariate first-order RCA models, is studied under more general conditions. Asymptotic behavior of such estimators is explored, and a lower bound for the asymptotic variance matrix of the estimator of the mean of random coefficient is established. Finite sample properties are demonstrated...

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 a Szegö type limit theorem, the Hölder-Young-Brascamp-Lieb inequality, and the asymptotic theory of integrals and quadratic forms of stationary fields *
Many statistical applications require establishing central limit theorems for sums/integrals or for quadratic forms , where Xt is a stationary process. A particularly important case is that of Appell polynomials h(Xt) = Pm(Xt), h(Xt,Xs) = Pm,n (Xt,Xs), since the “Appell expansion rank" determines typically the type of central limit theorem satisfied by the functionals ST(h), QT(h). We review and extend here to multidimensional indices, along lines conjectured in [F. Avram and M.S. Taqqu,...
On adaptive control of Markov chains using nonparametric estimation
Two adaptive procedures for controlled Markov chains which are based on a nonparametric window estimation are shown.
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 Bartlett's test for correlation between time series
An explicit formula for the correlation coefficient in a two-dimensional AR(1) process is derived. Approximate critical values for the correlation coefficient between two one-dimensional AR(1) processes are tabulated. They are based on Bartlett’s approximation and on an asymptotic distribution derived by McGregor. The results are compared with critical values obtained from a simulation study.
On calculation of stationary density of autoregressive processes
An iterative procedure for computation of stationary density of autoregressive processes is proposed. On an example with exponentially distributed white noise it is demonstrated that the procedure converges geometrically fast. The AR(1) and AR(2) models are analyzed in detail.
On computing the OC and ASN for some Markovian SPRT's
On conditional independence and log-convexity
If conditional independence constraints define a family of positive distributions that is log-convex then this family turns out to be a Markov model over an undirected graph. This is proved for the distributions on products of finite sets and for the regular Gaussian ones. As a consequence, the assertion known as Brook factorization theorem, Hammersley–Clifford theorem or Gibbs–Markov equivalence is obtained.

On Covariance Of Spectral Estimates Of Stationary Random Sequence
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 discrete Fourier analysis of amplitude and phase modulated signals
In this work the problem of characterization of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spectrum of an original complex-valued signal , t=0,1,...,n-1, modulated by random fluctuations of its amplitude and/or phase is investigated. It is assumed that the amplitude and/or phase of the signal at discrete times of observation are distorted by realizations of uncorrelated random variables or randomly permuted sequences of complex numbers. We derive the expected values and bounds on the variances of such...
On discrete Fourier spectrum of a harmonic with random frequency modulation
Asymptotic properties of the Discrete Fourier Transform spectrum of a complex monochromatic oscillation with frequency randomly distorted at the observation times t=0,1,..., n-1 by a series of independent and identically distributed fluctuations is investigated. It is proved that the second moments of the spectrum at the discrete Fourier frequencies converge uniformly to zero as n → ∞ for certain frequency fluctuation distributions. The observed effect occurs even for frequency fluctuations with...
