This paper proposes alternative methods for constructing estimators from accept-reject samples by incorporating the variables rejected by the algorithm.

This paper synthesises a global approach to both Bayesian and likelihood treatments of the estimation of the parameters of a hidden Markov model for the cases of normal and Poisson underlying distribution.

This paper puts forth a concept of Adptivety Rational Equilibrium (A.R.E) where agents base decisions upon predictions of future values of endogenous variables whose actual values are determined by equilibrium equations.

In this paper, we derive a general Hajek-Renyi type inequality for vector-valued martingales. Several well known inequalities are shown to be special cases of this general inequality. We also derive a similar inequality for dependent sequences. We then apply the inequality to the problem of...

This paper proposes to use a semi parametric regression method, named Sliced Inverse Regression (SIR hereafter), to analyse ambulatory blood pressure monitoring data.

Let X1,X2,...Xn be i.i.d. N-dimensional random variables having an unknown support of probability density denoted G; we suppose that G belongs to a functional class "g" of compact sets with smooth upper surface called boundary fragments. The problem consists in testing the hypotheses G=Go...

In this paper we review different approaches that we can use to identify real data. We recall classical methods used from a nonparametric point of view for stochastic data. Then we use the same methods in a deterministic context. We precise what kind of hypotheses we need to estimate and...
