We derive the asymptotics of the OLS estimator for a purely autoregressive spatial model. Only low-level conditions are used. As the sample size increases, the spatial matrix is assumed to approach a square-integrable function on the square (0,1)2. The asymptotic distribution is a ratio of two...

In this paper, we propose a combined regression estimator by using a parametric estimator and a nonparametric estimator of the regression function. The asymptotic distribution of this estimator is obtained for cases where the parametric regression model is correct, incorrect, and approximately...

In this paper, we present both integral and infinite series expressions of μqp≡E[(x′Ax)p/(x′Bx)q] when x∼N(μ,In), where p, q are nonnegative real numbers, A is a symmetric matrix, and B is a positive semi-definite matrix. We also present efficient numerical methods for computing μqp...
