The new distribution class, Asymmetric Exponential Power Distribution (AEPD), proposed in this paper generalizes the class of Skewed Exponential Power Distributions (SEPD) in a way that in addition to skewness introduces different decay rates of density in the left and right tails. Our...

In this paper, we develop finite-sample inference procedures for stationary and nonstationary autoregressive (AR) models.

Presently, conditions ensuring the validity of bootstrap methods for sample mean of (possibly heterogeneous) near epoch dependent (NED) functions of mixing processes are known. Here we establish the validity of the bootstrap in this context, extending the applicability of bootstrap methods to a...
