Estimation and inference in adaptive learning models with slowly decreasing gains
An asymptotic theory for estimation and inference in adaptive learning models with strong mixing regressors and martingale difference innovations is developed. The maintained polynomial gain specification provides a unified framework which permits slow convergence of agents' beliefs and contains recursive least squares as a prominent special case ...

Properties and Inference for a New Class of Generalized Rayleigh Distributions with an Application
In the present paper, we introduce a new form of generalized Rayleigh distribution called the Alpha Power generalized Rayleigh (APGR) distribution by following the idea of extension of the distribution families with the Alpha Power transformation.

On decompositions of estimators under a general linear model with partial parameter restrictions
A general linear model can be given in certain multiple partitioned forms, and there exist submodels associated with the given full model. In this situation, we can make statistical inferences from the full model and submodels, respectively.

Locally adaptive estimation methods with application to univariate time series [PDF]
The paper offers a unified approach to the study of three locally adaptive estimation methods in the context of univariate time series from both theoretical and empirical points of view. A general procedure for the computation of critical values is given.

Maximum likelihood estimator of the volatility of forward rates driven by geometric spatial AR sheet
Discrete‐time forward interest rate curve models are studied, where the curves are driven by a random field. Under the assumption of no‐arbitrage, the maximum likelihood estimator of the volatility parameter is given and its asymptotic behaviour is studied. First, the so‐called martingale models are examined, but we will also deal with the general case,

A note on Hammersley′s inequality for estimating the normal integer mean
Let X1, X2, …, Xn be a random sample from a normal N(θ, σ2) distribution with an unknown mean θ = 0, ±1, ±2, …. Hammersley (1950) proposed the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) d=[X¯n], nearest integer to the sample mean, as an unbiased estimator of θ and extended the Cramér‐Rao inequality.

Estimating the COGARCH(1,1) model - a first go [PDF]
We suggest moment estimators for the parameters of a continuous time GARCH(1,1) process based on equally spaced observations. Using the fact that the increments of the COGARCH(1,1) process are ergodic, the resulting estimators are consistent.

On hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution
It is shown that the hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution has moments of all positive orders, is overdispersed, skewed to the right, and leptokurtic. Also, a three‐term recurrence relation for computing probabilities from the considered distribution is given.
