Modelling Locally Changing Variance Structured Time Series Data By Using Breakpoints Bootstrap Filtering, Rajan Lamichhane Jul 2013

Modelling Locally Changing Variance Structured Time Series Data By Using Breakpoints Bootstrap Filtering, Rajan Lamichhane

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

Stochastic processes have applications in many areas such as oceanography and engineering. Special classes of such processes deal with time series of sparse data. Studies in such cases focus in the analysis, construction and prediction in parametric models. Here, we assume several non-linear time series with additive noise components, and the model fitting is proposed in two stages. The first stage identifies the density using all the clusters information, without specifying any prior knowledge of the underlying distribution function of the time series. The effect of covariates is controlled by fitting the linear regression model with serially correlated errors. In …


Analysis Of Continuous Longitudinal Data With Arma(1, 1) And Antedependence Correlation Structures, Sirisha Mushti Apr 2013

Analysis Of Continuous Longitudinal Data With Arma(1, 1) And Antedependence Correlation Structures, Sirisha Mushti

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

Longitudinal or repeated measure data are common in biomedical and clinical trials. These data are often collected on individuals at scheduled times resulting in dependent responses. Inference methods for studying the behavior of responses over time as well as methods to study the association with certain risk factors or covariates taking into account the dependencies are of great importance. In this research we focus our study on the analysis of continuous longitudinal data. To model the dependencies of the responses over time, we consider appropriate correlation structures generated by the stationary and non-stationary time-series models. We develop new estimation procedures …
