Approximate maximum likelihood estimation in linear regression

The application of the ML method in linear regression requires a parametric form for the error density. When this is not available, the density may be parameterized by its cumulants ( _i ) and the ML then applied. Results are obtained when the standardized cumulants ( _i ) satisfy _i = _i+2/ ₂ ^(i+2)/2 =O(v ⁱ ) asv 0 fori>0.Research financed in part by the Research Center of the Athens University of Economics and Business.     

Existence theorems of a maximum likelihood estimate from a generalized censored data sample

Summary A new type of random sample, called a generalized censored data sample, is defined. An approach to finding criteria for the existence of a maximum likelihood estiamte from a finite generalized censored data sample is presented. This approach, named the probability contents boundary analysis, gives systematically a number of practical criteria, each of which is effective for various kinds of typical distribution families in statistical analysis.

Asymptotics for non-parametric likelihood estimation with doubly censored multivariate failure times

This paper considers non-parametric estimation of a multivariate failure time distribution function when only doubly censored data are available, which occurs in many situations such as epidemiological studies. In these situations, each of multivariate failure times of interest is defined as the elapsed time between an initial event and a subsequent event and the observations on both events can suffer censoring. As a consequence, the estimation of multivariate distribution is much more complicated than that for multivariate right- or interval-censored failure time data both theoretically and practically. For the problem, although several procedures have been proposed, they are only ad-hoc approaches as the asymptotic properties of the resulting estimates are basically unknown. We investigate both the consistency and the convergence rate of a commonly used non-parametric estimate and show that as the dimension of multivariate failure time increases or the number of censoring intervals of multivariate failure time decreases, the convergence rate for non-parametric estimate decreases, and is slower than that with multivariate singly right-censored or interval-censored data.     

Asymptotic properties of a maximum likelihood estimator with data from a Gaussian process

We consider an estimation problem with observations from a Gaussian process. The problem arises from a stochastic process modeling of computer experiments proposed recently by Sacks, Schiller, and Welch. By establishing various representations and approximations to the corresponding log-likelihood function, we show that the maximum likelihood estimator of the identifiable parameter θσ² is strongly consistent and converges weakly (when normalized by √n) to a normal random variable, whose variance does not depend on the selection of sample points. Some extensions to regression models are also obtained.

Nonparametric tests for a change in the coefficient of variation

We consider the problem of testing the null hypothesis of no change against the alternative of exactly one change point when the change is expressed in terms of the value of the coefficient of variation. We propose a number of nonparametric test statistics for this problem. The asymptotic theory of the proposed tests is developed.      

An approximate maximum likelihood estimation for non-Gaussian non-minimum phase moving average processes

An approximate maximum likelihood procedure is proposed for the estimation of parameters in possibly nonminimum phase (noninvertible) moving average processes driven by independent and identically distributed non-Gaussian noise. Under appropriate conditions, parameter estimates that are solutions of likelihood-like equations are consistent and are asymptotically normal. A simulation study for MA(2) processes illustrates the estimation procedure.     

Limit theorems for maximum likelihood estimators in the Curie-Weiss-Potts model

The Curie-Weiss-Potts model, a model in statistical mechanics, is parametrized by the inverse temperature β and the external magnetic field h. This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter β when h = 0 and the asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter h when β is known and the true value of h is 0. The limits of these maximum likelihood estimators reflect the phase transition in the model; i.e., different limits depending on whether β < β_c, β = β_c or β > β_c, where β_c ε (0, ∞) is the critical inverse temperature of the model.
