On the strong consistency of asymptotic M-estimators
The aim of this article is to simplify Pfanzagl’s proof of consistency for asymptotic maximum likelihood estimators, and to extend it to more general asymptotic M -estimators. The method relies on the existence of a sort of contraction of the parameter space which admits the true parameter as a fixed point. The proofs are short and elementary.
متن کاملConsistency of robust portfolio estimators
It is a matter of common knowledge that traditional Markowitz optimization based on sample means and covariances performs poorly in practice. For this reason, diverse attempts were made to improve performance of portfolio optimization. In this paper, we investigate three popular portfolio selection models built upon classical meanvariance theory. The first model is an extension of the tradition...
متن کاملUniversal Consistency of Delta Estimators
This paper considers delta estimators of the Radon-Nikodym derivative of a probability function with respect to a a-finite measure. We provide sufficient conditions for universal consistency, which are checked for some wide classes of non-parametric estimators. Let P be a probability measure in the Borel space (]l~d,~d), absolutely continuous with respect to the a-finite measure # and f = dP/d#...
متن کاملConsistency of restricted maximum likelihood estimators of principal components Running Title: Consistency of REML estimators
In this paper we consider two closely related problems : estimation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel of functional data based on (possibly) irregular measurements, and the problem of estimating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. In Peng and Paul (2007), a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach has bee...
متن کاملJ ul 2 00 5 On the strong consistency of approximated M - estimators
The aim of this article is to provide a strong consistency Theorem for approximated M -estimators. It contains both Wald and Pfanzagl type results for maximum likelihood. The proof relies, in particular, on the existence of a sort of contraction of the parameter space which admits the true parameter as a fixed point. In a way, it can be seen as a simplification of ideas of Wang and Pfanzagl, ge...
