One serious problem in deep-hole drilling is the formation of a dynamic disturbance called spiralling which causes holes with several lobes. Since such lobes are a severe impairment of the bore hole quality the formation of spiralling has to be prevented. Gessesse et al. [2] explain spiralling...

Due to their status as "theʺ benchmark yield for the world’s largest government bond market and its importance for US monetary policy, the interest in a "goodʺ forecast of the constant maturity yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond ("T-bond yieldsʺ) is immense. This paper assesses three...

We analyze multivariate binary time series using a mixed parameterization in terms of the conditional expectations given the past and the pairwise canonical interactions among contemporaneous variables. This allows consistent inference on the influence of past variables even if the...

We study the drift of stationary diffusion processes in a time series analysis of the autoregression function. A marked empirical process measures the difference between the nonparametric regression functions of two time series. We bootstrap the distribution of a Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type test...

Dickey-Fuller control charts aim at monitoring a random walk until a given time horizon to detect stationarity as early as possible. That problem appears in many fields, especially in econometrics and the analysis of economic equilibria. To improve upon asymptotic control limits (critical...

We introduce robust regression-based online filters for multivariate time series and discuss their performance in real time signal extraction settings. We focus on methods that can deal with time series exhibiting patterns such as trends, level changes, outliers and a high level of noise as well...
