Functional asymptotic confidence intervals for a common mean of independent random variables

We consider independent random variables (r.v.'s) with a common mean $μ$ that either satisfy Lindeberg's condition, or are symmetric around $μ$. Present forms of existing functional central limit theorems (FCLT's) for Studentized partial sums of such r.v.'s on $D[0,1]$ are seen to be of some use for constructing asymptotic confidence intervals, or what we call functional asymptotic confidence intervals (FACI's), for $μ$. In this paper we establish completely data-based versions of these FCLT's and thus extend their applicability in this regard. Two special examples of new FACI's for $μ$ are presented.

New multivariate central limit theorems in linear structural and functional error-in-variables models

This paper deals simultaneously with linear structural and functional error-in-variables models (SEIVM and FEIVM), revisiting in this context generalized and modified least squares estimators of the slope and intercept, and some methods of moments estimators of unknown variances of the measurement errors. New joint central limit theorems (CLT's) are established for these estimators in the SEIVM and FEIVM under some first time, so far the most general, respective conditions on the explanatory variables, and under the existence of four moments of the measurement errors. Moreover, due to them being in Studentized forms to begin with, the obtained CLT's are a priori nearly, or completely, data-based, and free of unknown parameters of the distribution of the errors and any parameters associated with the explanatory variables. In contrast, in related CLT's in the literature so far, the covariance matrices of the limiting normal distributions are, in general, complicated and depend on various, typically unknown parameters that are hard to estimate. In addition, the very forms of the CLT's in the present paper are universal for the SEIVM and FEIVM. This extends a previously known interplay between a SEIVM and a FEIVM. Moreover, though the particular methods and details of the proofs of the CLT's in the SEIVM and FEIVM that are established in this paper are quite different, a unified general scheme of these proofs is constructed for the two models herewith.

Central limit theorems in linear structural error-in-variables models with explanatory variables in the domain of attraction of the normal law

Linear structural error-in-variables models with univariate observations are revisited for studying modified least squares estimators of the slope and intercept. New marginal central limit theorems (CLT's) are established for these estimators, assuming the existence of four moments for the measurement errors and that the explanatory variables are in the domain of attraction of the normal law. The latter condition for the explanatory variables is used the first time, and is so far the most general in this context. It is also optimal, or nearly optimal, for our CLT's. Moreover, due to the obtained CLT's being in Studentized and self-normalized forms to begin with, they are a priori nearly, or completely, data-based, and free of unknown parameters of the joint distribution of the error and explanatory variables. Consequently, they lead to a variety of readily available, or easily derivable, large-sample approximate confidence intervals (CI's) for the slope and intercept. In contrast, in related CLT's in the literature so far, the variances of the limiting normal distributions, in general, are complicated and depend on various, typically unknown, moments of the error and explanatory variables. Thus, the corresponding CI's for the slope and intercept in the literature, unlike those of the present paper, are available only under some additional model assumptions.
