Geometric ergodicity for families of homogeneous Markov chains

In this paper we find nonasymptotic exponential upper bounds for the deviation in the ergodic theorem for families of homogeneous Markov processes. We find some sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity uniformly over a parametric family. We apply this property to the nonasymptotic nonparametric estimation problem for ergodic diffusion processes.

Uniform concentration inequality for ergodic diffusion processes observed at discrete times

In this paper a concentration inequality is proved for the deviation in the ergodic theorem in the case of discrete time observations of diffusion processes. The proof is based on the geometric ergodicity property for diffusion processes. As an application we consider the nonparametric pointwise estimation problem for the drift coefficient under discrete time observations.

On some estimates for bounded submartingales and the shift inequality

It is well known that if a submartingale $X$ is bounded then the increasing predictable process $Y$ and the martingale $M$ from the Doob decomposition $% X=Y+M$ can be unbounded. In this paper for some classes of increasing convex functions $f$ we will find the upper bounds for $\lim_n\sup_XEf(Y_n)$, where the supremum is taken over all submartingales $(X_n),0\leq X_n\leq 1,n=0,1,...$. We apply the stochastic control theory to prove these results.

Adaptive asymptotically efficient estimation in heteroscedastic nonparametric regression

The paper deals with asymptotic properties of the adaptive procedure proposed in the author paper, 2007, for estimating an unknown nonparametric regression. %\cite{GaPe1}. We prove that this procedure is asymptotically efficient for a quadratic risk, i.e. the asymptotic quadratic risk for this procedure coincides with the Pinsker constant which gives a sharp lower bound for the quadratic risk over all possible estimates

Adaptive asymptotically efficient estimation in heteroscedastic nonparametric regression via model selection

The paper deals with asymptotic properties of the adaptive procedure proposed in the author paper, 2007, for estimating a unknown nonparametric regression. We prove that this procedure is asymptotically efficient for a quadratic risk, i.e. the asymptotic quadratic risk for this procedure coincides with the Pinsker constant which gives a sharp lower bound for the quadratic risk over all possible estimators.

On asymptotic normality of sequential LS-estimates of unstable autoregressive processes

For estimating the unknown parameters in an unstable autoregressive AR(p), the paper proposes sequential least squares estimates with a special stopping time defined by the trace of the observed Fisher information matrix. The limiting distribution of the sequential LSE is shown to be normal for the parameter vector lying both inside the stability region and on some part of its boundary in contrast to the ordinary LSE. The asymptotic normality of the sequential LSE is provided by a new property of the observed Fisher information matrix which holds both inside the stability region of AR(p) process and on the part of its boundary. The asymptotic distribution of the stopping time is derived.
