Some Asymptotic Properties Of Maximum Likelihood Procedures., Kasala Subramaniam Dr. Jun 1980

Some Asymptotic Properties Of Maximum Likelihood Procedures., Kasala Subramaniam Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis consists of two parts dealing with maximum likeli. hood procedures in two different frameworks. In the first part (Chapters 1,2 and 3) we consider inference about a parameter which is discrete or separated in the sense that no f(x, e) can be obtained as a "limit" of ff(x,e1)}, + e. (A precise definition of what is meant by & "limit" is given in Chapter 1). In the second part (Chapters 4 and 5) we consider the usual eÅŸtimetion problem of what may be called in constrast to Part I, a contimuous parameter. We assume, we have an exponential …

Statistical Analysis Of Nonestimable Functionals., Dibyen Majumdar Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Our interent will be centred around the Gaunn Markov model (Y,X6,2A), where Y ls a randon variable asnuning values in R" with expectation and dispersion natrix given byE(Y) = XA (1.1) (1.2) * X in Rnxm and A In the subset of nonnegative definite (n.n.d.) natrices of RAre known. Unless apecifled to the contrary, A will be assuted to be positive definite (p.d.). The unknown paraneter vector B varies in Ag, a subset of Rand o? in, will alvays be the positive half of the real line, unless otherwine specifled, and 1ikewfse satiafien the minimum requirement dim (n,) = m.Historically, …


On Some Non Uniform Rates Of Convergence To Normality With Applications., Ratan Dasgupta Dr. Feb 1980

On Some Non Uniform Rates Of Convergence To Normality With Applications., Ratan Dasgupta Dr.

Doctoral Theses

We obtain non-uniform rates of convergence to normality of the partial sums in a triangular array of random variables, where variables in each array are independently distributed. Section 2 of this chapter generalizes the results of Michel (1976) mainly in the direction of considering a triangular array of rand om variables. A slight generality in the moment assumptions is also made. The later extension is quite in spirit with Katzs (1963) extension of the classical Berry-Esseen theorem. Since by Tomkins theorem (see Tomkins (1971) or Stout (1974)) the laws of the iterated logarithm are directly related to the zone where …


Some Problems On Econometric Regression Analysis., Maitreyi Chaudhuri Dr. Feb 1980

Some Problems On Econometric Regression Analysis., Maitreyi Chaudhuri Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Very often in eoonometrio enslysis one adopts the classical lineer regression model. The classical linear regression model is given by If, in addition, e is assumed to be normally Ä‘istributed, the model is called classical normal1 linear regression mode1.Ordinary least squares (0LS) methods of estimation and hypothesis testing are besed on this ndal, d eveluton copy of CV POFO But the assumptions on É›is and- xs may not be fulfilled in reality; or, in other words, the model may not be correctly specified. Cne class of problems arises when some of the regressors are omitted from the equation and/or scme …
