We study the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator for a class of time series models driven by the score function of the predictive likelihood. This class of nonlinear dynamic models includes both new and existing observation driven time series models....

Power law or generalized polynomial regressions with unknown real-valued exponents and coefficients, and weakly dependent errors, are considered for observations over time, space or space-time. Consistency and asymptotic normality of nonlinear least squares estimates of the parameters are...

We provide a direct proof for consistency and asymptotic normality of Gaussian maximum likelihood estimators for causal and invertible autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) time series models, which were initially established by Hannan [Journal of Applied Probability (1973) vol. 10, pp....

We provide a direct proof for consistency and asymptotic normality of Gaussian maximum likelihood estimators for causal and invertible ARMA time series models, which were initially established by Hannan (1973) via the asymptotic properties of a Whittle's estimator. This also paves the way to...

This paper examines the Gaussian maximum likelihood estimator (GMLE) in the context of a general form of spatial autoregressive and moving average (ARMA) processes with finite second moment. The ARMA processes are supposed to be causal and invertible under the half-plane unilateral order, but...

This paper studies the sparsistency and rates of convergence for estimating sparse covariance and precision matrices based on penalized likelihood with nonconvex penalty functions. Here, sparsistency refers to the property that all parameters that are zero are actually estimated as zero with...

Moving from univariate to bivariate jointly dependent long memory time series introduces a phase parameter (γ), at the frequency of principal interest, zero; for short memory series γ = 0 automatically. The latter case has also been stressed under long memory, along with the "fractional...

GARCH (1,1) models are widely used for modelling processes with time varying volatility. These include financial time series, which can be particularly heavy tailed. In this paper, we propose a log-transform-based least squares estimator (LSE) for the GARCH (1,1) model. The asymptotic properties...

This paper proves consistency and asymptotic normality for the conditional-sum-of-squares estimator, which is equivalent to the conditional maximum likelihood estimator, in multivariate fractional time series models. The model is parametric and quite general, and, in particular, encompasses the...
