چکیده
We prove a general bootstrap theorem for possibly in nite dimensional Z estimators which builds on the recent in nite dimensional Z theorem due to Van der Vaart Our result extends nite dimensional results of this type for the bootstrap due to Arcones and Gin e Lele and Newton and Raftery We sketch three examples of models with in nite dimensional parameter spaces as applicatons of our general theorem Research supported in part by National Science Foundation grant DMS and by NIAID grant R AI AMS subject classi cations Primary F E secondary B

Integer aperture bootstrapping: a new GNSS ambiguity estimator with controllable fail-rate
In this contribution, we introduce a new bootstrapbased method for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) carrier-phase ambiguity resolution. Integer bootstrapping is known to be one of the simplest methods for integer ambiguity estimation with close-to-optimal performance. Its outcome is easy to compute due to the absence of an integer search, and its performance is close to optimal if the ...
متن کاملQML Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models with Spatial Errors
We propose quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation of dynamic panel models with spatial errors when the cross-sectional dimension n is large and the time dimension T is fixed. We consider both the random effects and fixed effects models and derive the limiting distributions of the QML estimators under different assumptions on the initial observations. We propose a residual-based bootstrap met...
متن کاملGeneralized Bootstrap for Estimating Equations
We introduce a generalized bootstrap technique for estimators obtained by solving estimating equations. Some special cases of this generalized bootstrap are the classical bootstrap of Efron, the deleted jackknife and variations of the Bayesian bootstrap. The use of the proposed technique is discussed in some examples. Distributional consistency of the method is established and an asymptotic rep...
متن کاملEdgeworth Expansions for Realized Volatility and Related Estimators
This paper shows that the asymptotic normal approximation is often insufficiently accurate for volatility estimators based on high frequency data. To remedy this, we compute Edgeworth expansions for such estimators. Unlike the usual expansions, we have found that in order to obtain meaningful terms, one needs to let the size of the noise to go zero asymptotically. The results have application t...
متن کاملStatistical Gnss Carrier Phase Ambiguity Resolution: a Review
Abstract Global Navigation Satellite System carrier phase ambiguity resolution is the key to high precision positioning and navigation. In this contribution a brief review is given of the probabilistic theory of integer carrier phase ambiguity estimation. Various ambiguity estimators are discussed. Among them are the estimators of integer rounding, integer bootstrapping, integer least-squares a...
