We study consistency and asymptotic normality of LS estimators in the EV (errors in variables) regression model under weak dependent errors that involve a wide range of linear and nonlinear time series. In our investigations we use a functional dependence measure of Wu [16]. Our results without mixing conditions complete the known asymptotic results for independent and dependent data obtained by Miao et al. [7]-[10].

This book relies on maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of parameters. Asymptotic theory assumes regularity conditions hold when the ML estimator is consistent. Typically an additional third derivative condition is assumed to ensure that the ML estimator is also asymptotically normally distributed. Standard asymptotic results that then hold are summarized in this chapter; for example, the asymptotic variance of the ML estimator is then given by the Fisher information formula, and the log-likelihood ratio, the Wald and the score statistics for testing the statistical significance of parameter estimates are all asymptotically equivalent. Also, the useful profile log-likelihood then behaves exactly as a standard log-likelihood only in a parameter space of just one dimension. Further, the model can be reparametrized to make it locally orthogonal in the neighbourhood of the true parameter value. The large exponential family of models is briefly reviewed where a unified set of regular conditions can be obtained.

Concerns have been expressed over the validity of statistical inference under covariate-adaptive randomization despite the extensive use in clinical trials. In the literature, the inferential properties under covariate-adaptive randomization have been mainly studied for continuous responses; in particular, it is well known that the usual two-sample t-test for treatment effect is typically conservative. This phenomenon of invalid tests has also been found for generalized linear models without adjusting for the covariates and are sometimes more worrisome due to inflated Type I error. The purpose of this study is to examine the unadjusted test for treatment effect under generalized linear models and covariate-adaptive randomization. For a large class of covariate-adaptive randomization methods, we obtain the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis and derive the conditions under which the test is conservative, valid, or anti-conservative. Several commonly used generalized linear models, such as logistic regression and Poisson regression, are discussed in detail. An adjustment method is also proposed to achieve a valid size based on the asymptotic results. Numerical studies confirm the theoretical findings and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adjustment method.

AbstractWe consider nonparametric regression for bivariate circular time series with long-range dependence. Asymptotic results for circular Nadaraya–Watson estimators are derived. Due to long-range dependence, a range of asymptotically optimal bandwidths can be found where the asymptotic rate of convergence does not depend on the bandwidth. The result can be used for obtaining simple confidence bands for the regression function. The method is illustrated by an application to wind direction data.

AbstractIn step-stress experiments, test units are successively exposed to higher usually increasing levels of stress to cause earlier failures and to shorten the duration of the experiment. When parameters are associated with the stress levels, one problem is to estimate the parameter corresponding to normal operating conditions based on failure data obtained under higher stress levels. For this purpose, a link function connecting parameters and stress levels is usually assumed, the validity of which is often at the discretion of the experimenter. In a general step-stress model based on multiple samples of sequential order statistics, we provide exact statistical tests to decide whether the assumption of some link function is adequate. The null hypothesis of a proportional, linear, power or log-linear link function is considered in detail, and associated inferential results are stated. In any case, except for the linear link function, the test statistics derived are shown to have only one distribution under the null hypothesis, which simplifies the computation of (exact) critical values. Asymptotic results are addressed, and a power study is performed for testing on a log-linear link function. Some improvements of the tests in terms of power are discussed.

ZusammenfassungDe-Bruijn-Folgen in der Zauberkunst wurden bereits von mehreren Autoren vorgeschlagen und auch mit Erfolg auf der Bühne eingesetzt (siehe z. B. [2, 4, 11]). Insbesondere gibt es dazu einen bekannten effektvollen Trick mit einem Skatspiel bestehend aus $$32$$ 32  Karten. Dieser setzt nicht voraus, dass sich der Zauberer die De-Bruijn-Folge und die Kodierung in Kartenwerte merken muss, da er alle notwendigen Informationen berechnen kann.In diesem Artikel gehen wir auf die mathematischen Grundlagen spezieller, durch lineare Abbildungen generierte De-Bruijn-Folgen ein. Mit der Theorie gelingt es uns, den Trick von $$32$$ 32  Karten auf das Pokerspiel mit $$52$$ 52  Karten bzw. auf das Kartenspiel „Set“  mit $$81$$ 81  Karten zu übertragen. In beiden Fällen kann sich der Zauberer mit etwas Übung die nötigen Informationen errechnen und muss dadurch wenig memorieren.
