We study a nonparametric method for estimating the boundary measure of a compact body G ⊂ ℝ d (the boundary length when d = 2 and the surface area for d = 3) in the case when this measure agrees with the corresponding Minkowski content. The estimator we consider is closely related to the one proposed in Cuevas, Fraiman and Rodríguez-Casal (2007). Our method relies on two sets of random points, drawn inside and outside the set G, with different sampling intensities. Strong consistency and asymptotic normality are obtained under some shape hypotheses on the set G. Some applications and practical aspects are briefly discussed.

We introduce a kernel-based estimator of the density function and regression function for data that have been grouped into family totals. We allow for a common intrafamily component but require that observations from different families be independent. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality for our procedures. As usual, the rates of convergence can be very slow depending on the behavior of the characteristic function at infinity. We investigate the practical performance of our method in a simple Monte Carlo experiment.

This paper investigates the global self-weighted least absolute deviation (SLAD) estimator for finite and infinite variance ARMA(p, q) models. The strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the global SLAD estimator are obtained. A simulation study is carried out to assess the performance of the global SLAD estimators. In this paper the asymptotic theory of the global LAD estimator for finite and infinite variance ARMA(p, q) models is established in the literature for the first time. The technique developed in this paper is not standard and can be used for other time series models.

We consider the estimation and identification of the functional structures of nonlinear econometric systems of the ARCH type. We employ nonparametric kernel estimates for the nonlinear functions characterizing the systems, and we establish strong consistency along with sharp rates of convergence under mild regularity conditions. We also prove the asymptotic normality of the estimates.
