Seeing the Wood for the Trees: A Critical Evaluation of Methods to Estimate the Parameters of Stochastic Differential Equations
Hurn, Aubrey; Jeisman, Joseph; Lindsay, Kenneth - 2007
Maximum-likelihood estimates of the parameters of stochastic differential equations are consistent and asymptotically efficient, but unfortunately difficult to obtain if a closed-form expression for the transitional probability density function of the process is not available. As a result, a...

On MLEs in an extended multivariate linear growth curve model
Filipiak, Katarzyna; Rosen, Dietrich - In: Metrika 75 (2012) 8, pp. 1069-1092
In this paper the extended growth curve model is considered. The literature comprises two versions of the model. These models can be connected by one-to-one reparameterizations but since estimators are non-linear it is not obvious how to transmit properties of estimators from one model to...

Computing the variance of tour costs over the solution space of the TSP in polynomial time
Sutcliffe, Paul; Solomon, Andrew; Edwards, Jenny - In: Computational Optimization and Applications 53 (2012) 3, pp. 711-728
We give an <Emphasis FontCategory="SansSerif">O(n <Superscript>2</Superscript>) time algorithm to find the population variance of tour costs over the solution space of the n city symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The algorithm has application in both the stochastic case, where the problem is specified in terms of edge costs which are pairwise...</superscript></emphasis>
