Fixed-domain Asymptotic Properties of Tapered Maximum Likelihood Estimators
When the spatial sample size is extremely large, which occurs in many environmental and ecological studies, operations on the large covariance matrix are a numerical challenge. Covariance tapering is a technique to alleviate the numerical challenges. Under the assumption that data are collected along a line in a bounded region, we investigate how the tapering affects the asymptotic efficiency o...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distributions of Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Asymptotic properties of MLEs and QMLEs of mixed regressive, spatial autoregressive models are investigated. The stochastic rates of convergence of the MLE and QMLE for such models may be less than the √ n-rate under some circumstances even though its limiting distribution is asymptotically normal. When spatially varying regressors are relevant, the MLE and QMLE of the mixed regressive, autoreg...
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Maximum Likelihood Estimators in Models with Multiple Change Points
Models with multiple change points are used in many fields; however, the theoretical properties of maximum likelihood estimators of such models have received relatively little attention. The goal of this paper is to establish the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of a multiple-change-point model for a general class of models in which the form of the distri...
متن کاملParticle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is different and motivated by similar considerations to simulated annealing; that is we build a sequence of artificial distributions whose support concentrates itself on the set of maximum likelihood estimates. We sample...
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Maximum (Composite) Likelihood Estimators for Partially Ordered Markov Models (Running Title: Asymptotic properties of MLEs for POMMs)
Partially ordered Markov models (POMMs) are Markov random elds (MRFs) with neighborhood structures derivable from an associated partially ordered set. The most attractive feature of POMMs is that their joint distributions can be written in closed and product form. Therefore, simulation and maximum likelihood estimation for the models is quite straightforward, which is not the case in general fo...
