Best attainable rates of convergence for the estimation of the memory parameter
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this note is to prove a lower bound for the estimation of the memory parameter of a stationary long memory process. The memory parameter is defined here as the index of regular variation of the spectral density at 0. The rates of convergence obtained in the literature assume second order regular variation of the spectral density at zero. In this note, we do not make this assumption, and show that the rates of convergence in this case can be extremely slow. We prove that the log-periodogram regression (GPH) estimator achieves the optimal rate of convergence for Gaussian long memory processes

Almost Sure Convergence Rates for the Estimation of a Covariance Operator for Negatively Associated Samples
Let {Xn, n >= 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of negatively associated random variables, with common continuous and bounded distribution function F. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the two-dimensional distribution function of (X1,Xk+1) based on histogram type estimators as well as the estimation of the covariance function of the limit empirical process induced by the se...

This paper presents the results of study on age, growth, mortality rates and yield-per-recruit of Beluga (Huso huso) living in Caspian Sea. The mean length of successive years, mortality rates and yield-per-recruit studies indicated that at present the resource is under heavy fishing pressure. For the female Beluga growth was regarded as comprising of three stages, and the von Bertalanffy param...
متن کاملA NEW TWO STEP CLASS OF METHODS WITH MEMORY FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR EQUATIONS WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY INDEX
It is attempted to extend a two-step without memory method to it's with memory. Then, a new two-step derivative free class of without memory methods, requiring three function evaluations per step, is suggested by using a convenient weight function for solving nonlinear equations. Eventually, we obtain a new class of methods by employing a self-accelerating parameter calculated in each iterative...
متن کاملStrong Convergence Rates of the Product-limit Estimator for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data under Association
Non-parametric estimation of a survival function from left truncated data subject to right censoring has been extensively studied in the literature. It is commonly assumed in such studies that the lifetime variables are a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables from the target population. This assumption is often prone to failure in practical studies. For instance, wh...
