In this paper, the estimation of parameters in the harmonic regression with cyclically dependent errors is addressed. Asymptotic properties of the least-squares estimates are analyzed by simulation experiments. By numerical simulation, we…

Given a fixed-sample-size test that controls the error probabilities under two specific, but arbitrary, distributions, a 3-stage and two 4-stage tests are proposed and analyzed. For each of them, a novel, concrete, non-asymptotic,…
