Parametric estimation for a signal-plus-noise model from discrete time observations

This paper deals with the parametric inference for integrated signals embedded in an additive Gaussian noise and observed at deterministic discrete instants which are not necessarily equidistant. The unknown parameter is multidimensional and compounded of a signal-of-interest parameter and a variance parameter of the noise. We state the consistency and the minimax efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimator and of the Bayesian estimator when the time of observation tends to $\infty$ and the delays between two consecutive observations tend to 0 or are only bounded. The class of signals in consideration contains among others, almost periodic signals and also non-continuous periodic signals. However the problem of frequency estimation is not considered here.

Limiting distributions for explosive PAR(1) time series with strongly mixing innovation

This work deals with the limiting distribution of the least squares estimators of the coefficients a r of an explosive periodic autoregressive of order 1 (PAR(1)) time series X r = a r X r--1 +u r when the innovation {u k } is strongly mixing. More precisely {a r } is a periodic sequence of real numbers with period P \textgreater{} 0 and such that P r=1 |a r | \textgreater{} 1. The time series {u r } is periodically distributed with the same period P and satisfies the strong mixing property, so the random variables u r can be correlated.

Spectrum of periodically correlated fields

The paper deals with Hilbert space valued fields over any locally compact Abelian group G, in particular over G = Z^n x R^m, which are periodically correlated (PC) with respect to a closed subgroup of G. PC fields can be regarded as multi-parameter extensions of PC processes. We study structure, covariance function, and an analogue of the spectrum for such fields. As an example a weakly PC field over Z^2 is thoroughly examined.
