We propose a consistent and computationally efficient 2-step methodology for the estimation of multidimensional non-Gaussian asset models built using Lévy processes. The proposed framework allows for dependence between assets and different tail-behaviors and jump structures for each asset. Our...

In this article, we present a statistical model for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) that determine growth trajectories of two correlated traits during ontogenetic development. This model is derived within the maximum likelihood context, incorporated by mathematical aspects of growth...
