Approximate and Generalized Confidence Bands for Some Parametric Functions of the Lognormal Diffusion Process with Exogenous Factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximate and generalized confidence bands for some parametric functions of the univariate lognormal diffusion process with exogenous factors are obtained. The procedures to obtain these bands are developed from the suitable adaptation of the available methods for building confidence intervals for the mean of the lognormal distribution. The obtained bands are similar to those calculated for the homogeneous lognormal diffusion process but, in this case it is not possible a general comparative study in terms of coverage errors, by means of simulation studies, because of the dependence on the exogenous factors of each particular model. Therefore, in each case a particular study is necessary. In this sense, in this paper two models are considered modelling the gross national product of Spain and the global manmade methane emissions, respectively.

On the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for some Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution
Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...
متن کاملAnalysis of Hybrid Censored Data from the Lognormal Distribution
The mixture of Type I and Type II censoring schemes, called the hybrid censoring. This article presents the statistical inferences on lognormal parameters when the data are hybrid censored. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the unknown parameters. Asymptotic distributions of the maximum likelihood estimators are used ...
متن کاملApproximating the Nonhomogeneous Lognormal Diffusion Process via Polynomial Exogenous Factors
In this article we propose a methodology for building a lognormal diffusion process with polynomial exogenous factors in order to fit data that present an exponential trend and show deviations with respect to an exponential curve in the observed time interval. We show that such a process approaches a nonhomogeneous lognormal diffusion and proves that it is specially useful in the case when exte...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation in Multivariate Lognormal Diffusion Processes with a Vector of Exogenous Factors
In this paper we consider a new model of multivariate lognormal diffusion process with a vector of exogenous factors such that each component exclusively affects the respective endogenous variable of the process. Starting from the Kolmogorov differential equations and Ito’s stochastics equation of this model, its transition probability density is obtained. A discrete sampling of the process is ...
