For spatio-temporal regression models with observations taken regularly in time but irregularly over space, we investigate the effect of spatial smoothing on the reduction of variance in estimating both parametric and nonparametric regression functions. The processes concerned are stationary in...

In order to develop statistical tests for the Lyapunov exponents of deterministic dynamical systems, we develop bootstrap tests based on empirical likelihood for percentiles and expectiles of strictly stationary processes. The percentiles and expectiles are estimated in terms of asymmetric least...

We consider the incidental parameters problem in this paper, i.e. the estimation for a small number of parameters of interest in the presence of a large number of nuisance parameters. By assuming that the observations are taken from a multiple strictly stationary process, the two estimation...
