We establish the asymptotic theory of least absolute deviation estimators for AR(1) processes with autoregressive parameter satisfying $n(\rho_n-1)\to\gamma$ for some fixed $\gamma$ as $n\to\infty$, which is parallel to the results of…

In this paper, we consider the usual linear regression model in the case where the error process is assumed strictly stationary. We use a result from Hannan (1973), who proved a Central Limit Theorem for the usual least square estimator…

We consider bivariate observations $(X_1,Y_1), \ldots, (X_n,Y_n)$ such that, conditional on the $X_i$, the $Y_i$ are independent random variables with distribution functions $F_{X_i}$, where $(F_x)_x$ is an unknown family of distribution…

In this paper, we address the problem of parameter estimation of a 2-D chirp model under the assumption that the errors are stationary. We extend the 2-D periodogram method for the sinusoidal model, to find initial values to use in any…

We propose a nonparametric estimation for a class of fractional stochastic differential equations (FSDE) with random effects. We precisely consider general linear fractional stochastic differential equations with drift depending on random…

Applications of structural equation models (SEMs) are often restricted to linear associations between variables. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in non-linear models may be complex and require numerical integration. Furthermore, ML…

One major systematic uncertainty of lattice QCD results is due to the continuum extrapolation. For an asymptotically free theory like QCD one finds corrections of the form $a^{n_\mathrm{min}}[2b_0\bar{g}^2(1/a)]^{\hat{\Gamma}_i}$ with…

Non-linear least squares solvers are used across a broad range of offline and real-time model fitting problems. Most improvements of the basic Gauss-Newton algorithm tackle convergence guarantees or leverage the sparsity of the underlying…

Given an undirected and connected graph $G$ on $T$ vertices, suppose each vertex $t$ has a latent signal $x_t \in \mathbb{R}^n$ associated to it. Given partial linear measurements of the signals, for a potentially small subset of the…

This is a brief tutorial on the least square estimation technique that is straightforward yet effective for parameter estimation. The tutorial is focused on the linear LSEs instead of nonlinear versions, since most nonlinear LSEs can be…

We construct bootstrap confidence intervals for a monotone regression function. It has been shown that the ordinary nonparametric bootstrap, based on the nonparametric least squares estimator (LSE) $\hat f_n$ is inconsistent in this…

We study a problem of estimation of smooth functionals of parameter $\theta $ of Gaussian shift model $$ X=\theta +\xi,\ \theta \in E, $$ where $E$ is a separable Banach space and $X$ is an observation of unknown vector $\theta$ in Gaussian…

We establish asymptotic properties of $M$-estimators, defined in terms of a contrast function and observations from a continuous-time locally stationary process. Using the stationary approximation of the sequence, $\theta$-weak dependence,…

We will study the least square estimator $\hat{\theta}_{T,S}$ for the drift parameter $\theta$ of the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck sheet which is defined as the solution of the Langevin equation X_{t,s}= -\theta \int^{t}_{0} \int^{s}_{0}…

In a wide range of applications, the stochastic properties of the observed time series change over time. The changes often occur gradually rather than abruptly: the properties are (approximately) constant for some time and then slowly start…

We analyze a simple prefiltered variation of the least squares estimator for the problem of estimation with biased, semi-parametric noise, an error model studied more broadly in causal statistics and active learning. We prove an oracle…
