The parameters $a$, $p$, and $q$ are such that $mathbf{E}Y(t)<0$, $tneq0$. We evaluate the sums $varphi_m(z,r)=sum_{kgeq0}(re^{-r})^{k}(z+k)^{m+k-1}/k!$, $m=1,2,dots$, $zgeq0$, of function series with parameter $ rin(0,1) $. These series are used for recursive evaluation of the moments $mathbf{E}(t^*)^m$, $mgeq 1$, for the time $t^*$ when the trajectory of the process $Y(t)$ attains its maximum value. The results obtained are applied to the problem of estimating the parameter $theta$ from $n$ observations with density $f(x,theta)$, which has a jump at the point $x=x(theta)$, $x'(theta)neq 0$. If $widehattheta_n$ is a maximum likelihood estimator for the true parameter $theta_0$, then the limit distribution as $ntoinfty$ for the normalized estimators $n(widehattheta_n-theta_0)$ is the distribution of the argument of the maximum $t^*_{theta_0}$ of the trajectory of the process $Y(t)$ with parameters $a$, $p$, and $q$, which depend on both the one-sided limits of the density at the point $x(theta_0)$ and the derivative $x'(theta_0)$. In this case, by evaluating the moments $mathbf{E}(t^*_{theta_0})^m$, $m=1, 2$, one can estimate both the asymptotic bias for the maximum likelihood estimator and its efficiency.","PeriodicalId":51193,"journal":{"name":"Theory of Probability and its Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of the mean function $mu(t) = mathbf{E}f(t)$ and of the covariance function $psi(t,s)=operatorname{Cov}{f(t),f(s)}$ if the noise values of each of the copies $f_i(t)$, $i=1,dots,n$, are observed in some collection of generally random (in general) time points (regressors). Under wide assumptions on the time points, we construct uniformly consistent kernel estimators for the mean and covariance functions both in the case of sparse data (where the number of observations for each copy of the stochastic process is uniformly bounded) and in the case of dense data (where the number of observations at each of $n$ series is increasing as $ntoinfty$). In contrast to the previous studies, our kernel estimators are universal with respect to the structure of time points, which can be either fixed rather than necessarily regular, or random rather than necessarily formed of independent or weakly dependent random variables.","PeriodicalId":51193,"journal":{"name":"Theory of Probability and its Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140839317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
