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.

The paper deals with the problem of identifying stochastic unobserved two-component models, as in seasonal adjustment or trend-cycle decompositions. Solutions based on the properties of the unobserved component estimation error are considered, and analytical expressions for the variances and...

This paper discusses ways to reduce the bias of consistent estimators that are biased in finite samples. It is necessary only that the bias function, which relates parameter values to bias, should be estimable by computer simulation or by some other method. If so, bias can be reduced or even...

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...

A procedure for computing the parameters of latent multifactor models in econometrics is proposed based on indirect estimation methods.

The paper deals with the problem of identifying stochastic unobserved two-component models, as in seasonal adjustment or trend-cycle decompositions. Solutions based on the properties of the unobserved component estimation error are considered, and analytical expressions for the variances and...

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...
